Matara, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya.

Meanwhile, a few showers or thundershowers may develop in the Uva Province and in

In addition to the rainfall, fairly strong winds of 30–40 kmph are expected at times

### Sea Conditions Around Sri Lanka

Weather conditions at sea are expected to remain unsettled during the next 24 hours.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at several places in the sea areas extending
from Chilaw to Matara via Colombo and Galle.

South-westerly winds will prevail with speeds of 30–40 kmph, increasing up to 50–
60 kmph at times in sea areas from Kalpitiya to Kankasanthurai via Mannar and from
Galle to Pottuvil via Hambantota.

These sea areas are expected to be rough at times, while other surrounding sea areas
may become fairly rough. Wave heights could increase to around 2.0–2.5 meters in
the coastal waters extending from Kalpitiya to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and 
Hambantota.

Fishermen, naval operators, and coastal communities are advised to exercise caution,
as temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas may occur during thundershowers.
