The Department of Meteorology has indicated that prevailing atmospheric conditions are conducive to the development of thundershowers in many parts of the country.
According to the latest forecast, showers or thunderstorms are expected in several areas across the island after 2.00 p.m. In some regions, particularly in the Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva, North-Central and Eastern provinces, fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 75 mm is likely.
The department also noted that morning showers may occur in the Eastern Province and in the Hambantota District.
In addition, misty conditions are expected during the early hours of the day in parts of the Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva and North-Central provinces, as well as in the districts of Kurunegala District and Vavuniya District.
The public has been advised to take necessary precautions to reduce potential risks from localized strong winds and lightning that may accompany these thundershowers.
