Showers or thundershowers are expected at several places across much of Sri Lanka
after 2.00 p.m., particularly in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern, Uva,
Eastern, and North-Central provinces. Fairly heavy rainfall of around 50 mm is likely
in some areas, especially in the Central, Sabaragamuwa, and Uva provinces, as well
as in the Polonnaruwa district.

During the early morning hours, misty conditions may occur in parts of the Western,
Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva, and North-Central provinces, along with the Jaffna and
Kurunegala districts. Motorists are advised to exercise caution due to reduced visibility.

The public is kindly urged to take necessary precautions against temporary localized
strong winds and lightning during thundershowers. Meanwhile, due to the sun’s northward
movement, it will be directly overhead in parts of the island, including Dodanduwa,
Rathgama, Akuressa, and surrounding areas, around 12:13 p.m. today.
