Due to the atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, showers of about 100mm may prevail over the country and neighboring sea areas.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times with cloudy skies in the Northern, North-central, Eastern and Uva provinces and in the Hambantota district. Thundershowers will develop most places elsewhere after 12.00 noon.

The Met Department said that there may be temporary localised strong winds during thundershowers. The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by lightning activity.
