The Department of Meteorology says that due to low level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, the prevailing showery condition is expected to enhance during next few days.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at most provinces of the island after 2.00pm while showers may occur in the Eastern, Western and Southern Provinces during the morning too, it said.

Heavy falls (about 100mm) can be expected at some places particularly in the Western, North-western, Southern, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva and North-central provinces.

On the apparent northward relative motion of the Sun, it is going to be directly over the latitudes of Sri Lanka during 05th and 15th of April in this year. The nearest areas of Sri Lanka over which the Sun is overhead today (12th), are Tandikulam, Periyakaddu, Madukanda, Talgahawewa, Pangurugaswewa and Kumburupddi about 12:11 noon.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the sea area off the coast extending from Puttalam to Trincomalee via Colombo, Galle, Hambantota and Batticaloa. (Heavy falls are also likely at some places).
Winds will be westerly or variable in direction and speed will be 20-30 kmph.

Wind speed can increase up to 40 kmph in the sea areas off the coast extending from Puttalam to Matara via Colombo and Galle.

Seas can be temporarily rough during thundershowers due to temporary increase of wind speed up to 60-70kmph.
