The Department of Meteorology has said that inter-monsoon conditions are gradually spreading over the country, adding that there is a high possibility for afternoon thundershowers.

• Showers or thundershowers could occur over most parts of the country,  particularly after 2.00 p.m, today.

Showers may occur in the Northern Province and in the coastal areas of Eastern Province and Puttalam District in the morning too.

The Met Department added that fairly heavy falls of about 50-75mm could be expected in some places, particularly in the North-central Province.

There may be temporary localised strong winds during thundershowers.

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