Heavy showers above 100mm are likely at some places in Western, Northwestern, Sabaragamuwa and Central provinces and in Galle and Matara districts.

General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.

Showers or thundershowers will occur in several places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Kankasanturai to Pottuvil via Trincomalee and Batticaloa. 

Showers or thundershowers will occur in the other sea areas around the island during the afternoon or night.

Winds will be north-easterly and speed will be 20-30 kmph.

The sea areas around the island will be slight.

Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers.
