Showers will occur at several places in the **sea areas off the coasts extending

may develop at a few places in other sea areas around the island**, especially during
the **evening or night**.

Winds will be **north-easterly**, with speeds generally ranging between **25 and
35 kmph**. At times, wind speeds may increase up to **45–50 kmph** in the sea areas
off the coast extending from **Colombo to Mannar via Puttalam**, and from **Hambantota
to Pottuvil**. Consequently, the **sea will be fairly rough at times** in these 
regions, while **other sea areas will remain moderate**. **Strong gusty winds and
very rough seas** can be expected during thundershowers, and fishermen and naval
communities are advised to remain vigilant.
