Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in Northern and Eastern provinces and in Anuradhapura and Puttalam districts in the afternoon or at night, the Department of Meteorology says.
However, fair weather will prevail in most parts of the island elsewhere.
The general public is advised to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
