may be accompanied by **temporary localized strong winds and lightning**, which 
could cause minor damage in vulnerable areas. The general public is advised to remain
cautious, particularly during outdoor activities in the affected districts.

Elsewhere across the island, **mainly fair weather will prevail throughout the day**,
allowing for favorable conditions for daily activities, agriculture, and travel 
in most regions.

During the **early hours of the morning**, **misty conditions** can be expected 
at some places in the **Sabaragamuwa, Central and North-Central provinces**, as

In the **sea areas around the island**, **showers may occur at a few places off 
the coast extending from Pottuvil to Batticaloa**. Additionally, **showers or thundershowers
may occur in the evening or night** at a few places in the sea areas off the coast
extending from **Kalutara to Matara via Galle**. **Mainly fair weather** is expected
in the other sea areas around the island.

Winds over the sea areas will be **north-easterly**, with speeds of **30–40 kmph**.
Wind speeds may **increase up to 50 kmph at times** in the sea areas off the coast
extending from **Kalutara to Mannar via Colombo and Puttalam**, and from **Matara
to Pottuvil via Hambantota**. As a result, **rough sea conditions** are expected
in these areas, while **other sea areas will remain moderate**.

Fishermen and naval communities are strongly advised to **remain vigilant**, as **
temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas** may occur during thundershowers.
