Rainy weather to continue - Met. Department

Showery weather with lightning activity can be expected, especially during the afternoon and night, the Met. Department says.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at most parts of the island after 2.00 p.m. Showers may occur in Western and Southern provinces and in the Puttalam district, in the morning too.

Fairly heavy falls (about 75-100 mm) are also likely at some places.

Misty conditions can be expected at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Southern provinces during the morning.

There may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers. General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning activity.
