Sri Lanka is expected to experience a noticeable increase in afternoon thundershowers
from today, 01 October, as atmospheric conditions become more favorable for rainfall
across most parts of the island. Showers or thundershowers will occur in most areas
after 1.00 p.m.

Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 75 mm is possible at some locations in the Central,
Sabaragamuwa, Uva, Eastern and North Central provinces, as well as in Mannar district.
These areas should be prepared for periods of intense rainfall during the afternoon
and evening. Temporary localized strong winds and lightning may accompany thundershowers,
and the public is advised to take adequate precautions to minimize possible damage.

Misty conditions are expected in some areas of the Central, Sabaragamuwa and Uva
provinces during the early morning hours. Reduced visibility may occur in these 
locations, particularly along roads in elevated areas.
