A low-level atmospheric disturbance persists in the vicinity of Sri Lanka over the Bay of Bengal, and cloudy skies and increased rainfall are expected across the island over the next few days, the Department of Meteorology said.
The general public is advised to pay attention to future forecasts and bulletins issued by the Department of Meteorology in this regard.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Western, Northern and Southern provinces.
Heavy rainfall of around 100–150 mm is likely in some places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North Central, Uva and Southern provinces.
Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 75 mm is likely in some places in other parts of the island, it said.
The general public is advised to take adequate precautions to minimise damage caused by temporary, localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
Misty conditions can be expected in some places in the Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces during the early hours of the morning.
