The department said the development of an atmospheric disturbance in the lower atmosphere near Sri Lanka is expected to intensify showery conditions across the island.
Showers or thundershowers are likely in most parts of the country after 1 p.m., with heavy rainfall of around 100 mm possible at some locations in the Northern, North Central, Central, Eastern, North Western and Uva provinces.
