The Department of Meteorology says several rounds of showers are expected today (26) in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, North-Western and Uva provinces, as well as in the Matale and Nuwara-Eliya districts.
In other areas of the island, isolated showers or thundershowers may develop after 2.00 p.m. The Met Department also warned that parts of the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, along with the Galle and Matara districts, could receive fairly heavy rainfall of around 50 millimetres.
Meanwhile, strong winds ranging between 30 and 40 kilometres per hour are likely at times over the eastern slopes of the central hills, the Northern, North-Central, North-Western and Eastern provinces, and in the Matara, Hambantota and Monaragala districts.
Misty conditions are expected during the early morning hours in some locations in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces, as well as in the Galle and Matara districts.
The general public has been urged to take necessary precautions to reduce potential damage caused by localized strong winds and lightning associated with thundershowers.
