Sudden roughness in East and South seas
November 20, 2014 02:48 pm
Due to the active cloudiness to the East and to the South of Sri Lanka, sudden increase of wind speed over the sea areas off the coast extending from Kankesanthurai to Galle via Trincomalee and Pottuvil is possible, the Met. Dept. says.
Therefore the possibility of sudden roughness of the above said sea areas are high. The other sea areas may be fairly rough at times as the wind can be strengthening up to 50kmph at times.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the sea areas around the island, the Met. Dept. forecasts.
Winds will be North-easterly and the speed will be 20-40 kmph. There may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers.
