## Fairly Rough Seas Expected in Several Coastal Areas During Next 24 Hours

The Department of Meteorology has issued a **marine weather advisory** warning 
of **unsettled sea conditions in several coastal regions around Sri Lanka over the
next 24 hours**.

According to the forecast, **showers may occur at isolated locations in sea areas
from Mannar to Pottuvil via Kankasanthurai and Trincomalee**. Additionally, **showers
or thundershowers are expected during the evening or night** in sea areas **from
Kalutara to Hambantota via Galle**.

Winds will generally be **north-easterly**, blowing at speeds of **30–40 kmph**.
However, **stronger gusts reaching 45–50 kmph** may occur at times in sea areas **
from Colombo to Mullaittivu via Puttalam and Kankasanthurai**, as well as **from
Matara to Pottuvil via Hambantota**.

Due to these wind conditions, the **sea will be fairly rough at times** in the affected
coastal stretches. Other surrounding sea areas are expected to remain **moderate**,
though sudden changes may occur during thundershowers.

**Fishermen, small boat operators, and naval activities** are advised to **exercise
heightened caution**, particularly during periods of **strong winds, rough seas,
and thunderstorms**.
