Due to a low-level atmospheric disturbance persisting in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka, cloudy skies and increased rainfall are expected to continue over the island.

Misty conditions can be expected at some places in the Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces during the early hours of the morning.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western provinces. Showers or thundershowers will occur in other parts of the island after 1.00 p.m.

Heavy showers  above 100 mm are likely at some places in the  Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Central, and North-western provinces and in Anuradhapura district while fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in  other areas of the island.

The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damage caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
