Many areas to experience heavy rains

COLOMBO (News 1st); Showery condition is expected to enhance over most parts of the island during tomorrow and the day after tomorrow (1st and 2nd October) due to low-level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in most parts of the island. Heavy showers above 100mm can be expected at some places in Northern, North-Central and Northwestern provinces.

Fairly heavy showers above 75mm can be expected at some places elsewhere.

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