October 2, 2018 01:53 pm
Inter-monsoon conditions have established over the country, according to the Department of Meteorology.
Due to the low level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, prevailing showery condition is expected to continue over the island during next few days.
Showers or thundershowers will occur in the most parts of the island after 2.00 p.m.
Very heavy rainfall about 150 mm can be expected at some places in the North-Central, Central and Uva provinces. Heavy falls about 100 mm can be expected at some places elsewhere in the island.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at several places in coastal areas in the morning too, the department said.
There may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers.
Sea Area:
Heavy showers can be expected in the sea area extending from Matara to Pottuvil via Hambanthota and in the sea area extending from Puttalam to Negombo.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the other sea areas around the island in the evening or night.
Winds will be variable in direction in the sea areas around the island and wind speed will be 15-20 kmph.
