## Rough Sea Conditions Expected in Several Coastal Areas Around Sri Lanka

The Department of Meteorology has issued a marine weather advisory warning of **
rough sea conditions and strong winds in several sea areas around the island during
the next 24 hours**.

According to the forecast, **showers or thundershowers may develop in a few sea 
areas off the coast from Kalutara to Hambantota via Galle**, particularly during
the **evening or night hours**.

**North-easterly winds are expected to blow at speeds of 30–40 kmph**, with **temporary
strengthening up to 45–50 kmph** in the sea areas **from Colombo to Mannar via Puttalam
and from Hambantota to Pottuvil**.

As a result, **the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Mannar via 
Puttalam and from Hambantota to Pottuvil are likely to be fairly rough at times**,
while **other sea areas around the island are expected to remain moderate**.

Fishermen and naval communities are **advised to be vigilant**, especially in areas
experiencing strong winds and rough seas. Small fishing craft operators are urged
to **exercise caution and pay close attention to future weather updates**, particularly
during evening and nighttime hours when thundershowers may occur.
