Showers or thundershowers will occur at most places of the island after 1.00 p.m., the Met. Department noted.
Showers are likely in the Southern and Eastern provinces during the morning hours.
Meanwhile, heavy falls above 100 mm are likely at some places in the Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva and Northcentral provinces.
Misty conditions can be expected at some places in the Central, Sabaragamuwa and Uva provinces during the early hours of the morning.
The general public has been requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
