Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North-western provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts today (23), the Department of Meteorology said.
Fairly heavy falls above 75 mm are likely at some places in these areas while several spells of showers can be expected in the Northern and North Central provinces.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the Uva province and Batticaloa and Ampara districts after 1.00 p.m., the Met. Department added.
Meanwhile, strong winds of about (40-50) kmph can be expected at times over the Western slopes of the central hills and in the Western, Northern, North-central, North-western and Southern provinces and in the Trincomalee district today.
Accordingly, the general public has been requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
