Showers are expected intermittently in the Eastern and Uva provinces, as well as in the Matale and Nuwara-Eliya districts. Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 50 mm may occur in isolated locations in the Uva Province and in the Batticaloa and Ampara districts.
Several periods of rain are also forecast for the Northern and North-Central provinces and the Hambantota district. In other parts of the country, showers or thundershowers are likely to develop at multiple locations after 2.00 p.m.
Meanwhile, misty conditions can be expected during the early morning hours in parts of the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and North-Western provinces, including the Galle, Matara and Anuradhapura districts.
The general public has been advised to take necessary precautions to reduce possible damage from localized strong winds and lightning associated with thundershowers.
