Showers will occur at several places in the **sea areas off the coasts extending
from Pottuvil to Kankasanthurai via Batticaloa and Trincomalee**. Additionally, **
showers or thundershowers may develop in other sea areas around the island**, particularly
during the **evening or night**.

Winds will be **north-easterly**, with speeds ranging between **25 and 35 kmph**.
Wind speeds may increase up to **45–50 kmph at times** in the sea areas extending
from **Kaluthara to Mannar via Colombo and Puttalam**, and from **Hambantota to 
Pottuvil**. As a result, the **sea will be fairly rough at times** in these regions,
while **other sea areas will remain moderate**. **Temporarily strong gusty winds
and very rough seas** can be expected during thundershowers.

The general public, fishermen, and naval communities are strongly advised to **take
necessary precautions** to minimize potential damages and ensure safety during adverse
weather conditions.
