The Department of Meteorology says showers and thunderstorms will continue across several parts of Sri Lanka on Friday (October 23), despite the low-pressure system moving westward away from the island.
According to the forecast issued at 5:30 a.m., the system’s influence is expected to persist, bringing intermittent showers or thunderstorms to the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Northern and North-western provinces, as well as the Anuradhapura and Galle districts.
Other parts of the island can expect showers or thunderstorms after 1 p.m., with fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 75 mm possible in some areas.
The department has urged the public to take precautions against temporary strong winds and lightning during thunderstorms. (Newswire)
