# Showers Expected in Several Provinces

Sri Lanka is expected to experience unsettled weather conditions on Friday, 30 October
2026, with several spells of showers forecast for parts of the island. Rainfall 
will affect several provinces, while afternoon thundershowers and fairly heavy rainfall
are expected in selected areas.

Several spells of showers will occur in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and
in the Galle and Matara districts. A few showers may also occur in the North-Western
Province. Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers are expected at several places in
the Central, Uva and Eastern provinces, as well as in the Polonnaruwa and Hambantota
districts, after 1.00 p.m.

Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 50 mm is likely at some locations in these areas.
Residents are advised to remain alert to changing weather conditions, particularly
during afternoon and evening thundershowers. Mainly fair weather is expected to 
prevail in other parts of the island.

Misty conditions may develop at some places in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces
during the early morning hours. Motorists are advised to exercise caution due to
reduced visibility.

The public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimize possible damage
caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
