Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea area off the coast extending from Puttalam to Hambanthota via Colombo and Galle.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places in the other sea areas around the island in the evening or night.
Winds will be South-westerly and speed will be (25-35) kmph in the sea areas around the island.
Wind speed in the sea area off the coast extending from Hambantota to Batticaloa via Pottuvil and the sea areas extending from Puttalam to Kankasanturai via Mannar can be increased up to (40-45) kmph at times.
