Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern and North-western provinces and in the Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya and Monaragala districts after 1:00 p.m. today (08), the Department of Meteorology stated.
A few showers may occur in the coastal areas of the Western province and in the Galle and Matara districts in the morning, the Met. Department noted.
Meanwhile, misty conditions can be expected at some places in the Central, Sabaragamuwa and Uva provinces and in the Ampara and Polonnaruwa districts during the early hours of the morning.
The general public has been requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
Meanwhile, due to the apparent northward relative motion, the sun will be directly over the latitudes of Sri Lanka until April 15, the Met. Department said.
Accordingly, the sun will be overhead in Warakapola, Aranayaka, Gampola, Bibile, Inginiyagala and Akkaraipattu at around 12:12 p.m. today.
