**Sea Areas Forecast**

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the sea areas extending from Puttalam
to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle during the next 24 hours.

South-westerly winds are expected, with speeds of around 30–40 kmph. Wind speeds
may occasionally increase to 50–60 kmph in the sea areas extending from Kankasanthurai
to Puttalam via Mannar and from Matara to Pottuvil via Hambantota.

These stronger winds will make some sea areas fairly rough at times. In particular,
the wave height may increase to around 2.0–2.5 metres in the sea areas extending
from Puttalam to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle and Matara. Other areas may also experience
temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas during thundershowers.

Fishing and naval communities are advised to remain attentive to changing sea conditions
and follow the latest weather information when planning marine activities.
