Showers or thundershowers are expected to occur at several places across parts of
Sri Lanka, particularly in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, and Uva provinces
after 1.00 p.m. Rainfall is also likely in the districts of Kandy and Nuwara Eliya
during the afternoon and evening hours. These thundershowers may be accompanied 
by temporary localized strong winds and lightning, and the public is advised to 
take necessary precautions to minimize possible damages.

Meanwhile, mainly dry weather will prevail over most other areas of the island, 
bringing relatively stable conditions outside the affected regions. During the early
hours of the morning, misty conditions can be expected in parts of the Central, 
Sabaragamuwa, North-Central, and Uva provinces, as well as in the Galle, Matara,
and Kurunegala districts. Motorists are advised to exercise caution due to reduced
visibility in these areas.
