Sri Lanka is expected to experience unsettled weather conditions on 06 June 2026,
with showers, thundershowers, strong winds, and rough seas affecting many parts 
of the country. According to the latest forecast, rainfall activity will continue
over the southwestern regions, bringing wet and windy conditions to several provinces
and districts.

Showers or thundershowers 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 of about 75 mm is likely in some locations within
these areas. Residents are advised to remain alert, especially in low-lying and 
landslide-prone regions where localized flooding and water accumulation may occur.

Strong winds are also expected across the island. Wind speeds of 40–50 kmph can 
occur at times over the western slopes of the central hills, the Northern and North-
Central provinces, and in the Hambantota and Trincomalee districts. Other parts 
of the country may experience fairly strong winds ranging between 30–40 kmph. The
public is urged to take precautions against falling trees, damaged structures, and
lightning associated with thundershowers.

### **Marine Weather Warning**

Sea conditions around Sri Lanka are expected to remain hazardous during the next
24 hours. Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in sea areas extending
from Puttalam to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle.

South-westerly winds will prevail over surrounding sea areas with speeds of 30–40
kmph. Wind speeds may increase significantly, reaching 60–70 kmph at times in the
sea areas from Kankasanthurai to Kalpitiya via Mannar. Winds may also strengthen
up to 50–60 kmph in waters extending from Trincomalee to Kankasanthurai via Mullaitivu
and from Kalpitiya to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota.

The sea areas from Kankasanthurai to Kalpitiya via Mannar will be very rough at 
times, while other surrounding sea areas may become rough to very rough. Wave heights
could rise to 2.0–2.5 meters in the sea areas from Mannar to Pottuvil via Colombo,
Galle, and Hambantota. Nearshore waters from Chilaw to Matara may also experience
sea surges.

Fishermen, naval operators, and coastal communities are strongly advised to exercise
extreme caution and monitor weather updates regularly.
