According to the Met. Department, strong winds of about 40-50 kmph can be expected at times over the Central, Sabaragamuwa, Northern and North Central provinces and in Trincomalee and Hambantota districts, due to the active south-west monsoonal condition.

Accordingly, the general public has been requested to be attentive about future advisories issued by the Department of Meteorology in this regard.
