Showers or thundershowers are expected to occur at several places across Sri Lanka
after 1.00 p.m., particularly in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern, North-
Western and Uva provinces, as well as in the Ampara, Batticaloa and Polonnaruwa 
districts. Morning showers are also likely in parts of the Southern Province and
in Ampara, Batticaloa and Monaragala districts.

Fairly heavy rainfall of about 75 mm can be expected in some areas, especially in
the Western, Sabaragamuwa and Southern provinces, and in the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya
districts. Meanwhile, mainly dry weather will prevail in other parts of the island.

Misty conditions may develop during the early morning hours in the Central, Sabaragamuwa
and Uva provinces, along with the Galle, Matara and Kalutara districts. The public
is advised to take necessary precautions against lightning and temporary strong 
winds during thundershowers.

Due to the apparent northward movement of the sun, it will be directly overhead 
Sri Lanka during this period, with areas such as Cheddikulam, Kebithigollewa, Gomarankadawala
and Nilaveli experiencing overhead sun around midday today.
