Rainy weather conditions are expected to intensify across the southwestern parts
of Sri Lanka from the evening of 02 June, according to the latest forecast issued
by the Department of Meteorology.

Showers will occur at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and North-Western provinces,
as well as in the districts of Galle, Matara, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya. Fairly heavy
rainfall exceeding 75 mm is likely at some locations in these areas, increasing 
the risk of localized flooding and water accumulation in low-lying regions.

Meanwhile, a few showers or thundershowers may develop in the Uva Province and in
the Ampara and Batticaloa districts after 1.00 p.m. Residents are advised to remain
alert for possible lightning and temporary strong winds associated with thundershower
activity.

Fairly strong winds of 30–40 kmph can be expected at times over the western slopes
of the central hills, the Northern, North-Central, North-Western, and Southern provinces,
as well as in the Trincomalee District. The public is urged to take necessary precautions
to minimize damage caused by strong winds and lightning.
