The Department of Meteorology has forecast continued wet and windy weather across
several parts of Sri Lanka on **28 June 2026**, with showers, fairly heavy rainfall,
and strong winds expected to affect both land and sea areas. Residents in vulnerable
regions are advised to remain alert and take necessary safety precautions.

According to the latest weather forecast, showers will occur at times in the **Western,
Sabaragamuwa and North-Western provinces**, as well as in the **Galle, Matara, Kandy
and Nuwara Eliya districts**. Some of these areas are likely to receive **fairly
heavy rainfall exceeding 50 mm**, which could lead to localized flooding in low-
lying areas and temporary disruptions to transport.

Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers may develop at a few places in the **Uva Province**
and in the **Ampara** and **Batticaloa** districts after 2.00 p.m. The public is
advised to remain cautious during thunderstorms, as they may be accompanied by lightning
and sudden strong winds.

In addition to the rain, fairly strong winds of **30–40 kmph** are expected at times
over the western slopes of the central hills, the **North-Central, North-Western
and Southern provinces**, and in the **Trincomalee** district. People are encouraged
to secure loose outdoor objects and avoid sheltering under trees during periods 
of strong winds and lightning.

**Marine Weather Forecast**

Weather conditions at sea will also remain unsettled over the next 24 hours. Showers
or thundershowers are expected 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 the sea areas from **Kankasanthurai to Kalpitiya via Mannar**
and from **Hambantota to Pottuvil**. Winds may also reach **50 kmph** along the 
coastal waters from **Kalpitiya to Hambantota via Colombo, Galle and Matara**.

These conditions will cause rough seas in the northern and southeastern coastal 
waters, while the southwestern coastal areas will experience fairly rough seas. 
Wave heights are expected to rise between **2.0 and 3.0 metres** from **Chilaw to
Pottuvil** via Colombo, Galle and Hambantota. There is also a possibility of swell
surges affecting nearshore waters from **Beruwala to Matara** via Galle.

Fishermen, naval operators and beachgoers are strongly advised to exercise extreme
caution, as temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can develop during
thundershowers.
