_Issued at 2.00 p.m. on 16 December 2025_

Showery conditions are expected in many sea areas around Sri Lanka during the next
24 hours, according to the latest marine weather forecast.

Showers will occur at several places in the sea areas off the coast extending from**
Puttalam to Hambantota via Kankasanthurai, Trincomalee and Pottuvil**. In the remaining
sea areas around the island, **showers or thundershowers** are likely at several
places, particularly during the **evening or night**.

Winds will be **north-easterly** with speeds of **30–40 kmph**. However, wind speeds
may **increase up to 50–55 kmph at times** in the sea areas off the coast extending
from **Negombo to Galle**, passing **Puttalam, Kankasanthurai, Trincomalee, Pottuvil
and Hambantota**.

Sea conditions along these coastal stretches are expected to be **rough at times**,
while the **other sea areas around the island will remain moderate**.

Mariners and fishing communities are advised to be cautious, as **temporarily strong
gusty winds and very rough seas** can occur during thundershowers. Appropriate safety
measures should be taken before venturing into sea.
