Your weather update for Friday (8)

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Department of Meteorology announced that due to the low-level atmospheric disturbance to the east of Sri Lanka, the showery condition is expected to enhance over most parts of the island during the next few days (08th, 09th, and 10th).

Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places over most parts of the island.

Heavy showers above 100mm can be expected at some places in Central, Sabaragamuwa, and Uva provinces, and Kaluthara, Galle, and Matara districts.

Fairly heavy showers above 50mm can be expected at some places elsewhere.

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

On the apparent northward relative motion of the sun, it is going to be directly over the latitudes of Sri Lanka from 05th to 15th of April this year.

The nearest areas of Sri Lanka over which the sun is overhead today (08th) are Kimbulapitiya, Danowita, Galaha, Marassana Kanda, Damana, and Sinnamuhattuvaram at about 12:12 afternoon.
