Showers may also occur in the coastal areas of the Western and North-Western provinces, and in the Galle and Matara districts during the morning, the Met. Department added.
Thus, the general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damage caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
