The Department of Meteorology says that sowers or thundershowers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-western provinces and in Galle, Matara, Kandy and Nuwara-Eliya districts.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places in Uva province and in Batticaloa and Ampara districts during the evening or night, it added.
Strong winds of about 40-45 kmph can be expected at times over Western slopes of the central hills, Northern, North-central and North-western provinces and in Hambantota and Trincomalee districts, according to the department.
Thus, the general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
In the meantime, the sun is going to be directly over the latitudes of Sri Lanka during 28th of August to 06th of September due to its apparent southward relative motion.
The nearest places of Sri Lanka over which the sun is overhead today (05) are Ahungalla, Neluwa and Yala about 12.08 noon.
