Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm can be expected at some places in Eastern, Uva, North-central and Northern provinces.

Meanwhile, fairly heavy showers above 50 mm can be expected at some places elsewhere too.

There may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers.

The general public is advised to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning activity.
