Showery conditions expected to continue in parts of the island

August 17, 2024 08:13 am

The Meteorology Department says prevailing showery conditions are expected to continue in the south-western part of the island due to the low-level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka during today.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-western provinces and in Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, Matara and Mannar districts.

Heavy showers above 100 mm are likely at some places in Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in Galle and Matara districts.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places elsewhere over the island during the evening or night, it added.

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