The Department of Meteorology says that due to the atmospheric disturbance located to the northeast of Sri Lanka, showers or thundershowers will be widespread with very heavy rainfall (more than 150mm) expected in the Northern, North Central, Eastern and Uva provinces.
Due to the active cloudiness to the East of Sri Lanka in the Bay of Bengal, sudden increase of wind speed over the sea areas off the coast extending from Jaffna to Galle via Trincomalie and Batticaloa is possible
Therefore the possibility of sudden roughness of the above said sea areas are high. Thundershowers will continue over sea areas around the island, a severe weather advisory issued by the Met Department’s Early Warning Centre said.
