Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-western provinces.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the other areas of the island during the evening or night, it added.
Strong winds of about 40-45 kmph can be expected at times over Northern, North-central and North-western provinces and in Trincomalee and Hambantota districts.
