Persistent adverse weather conditions sweeping across Sri Lanka have left a trail of destruction in several districts, with dozens of families facing difficult conditions as heavy rains continue to impact daily life.
According to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC), a total of 88 houses have suffered partial damage across seven districts due to the prevailing weather situation.
The worst-affected area is the Kalutara District, where 40 houses were reported damaged. The Batticaloa District recorded the second-highest number with 25 affected houses.
Meanwhile, nine houses were damaged in the Ratnapura District, while five houses each were affected in the Galle District and Colombo District. The Monaragala District also reported damage to four houses.
As conditions remain unstable, authorities have moved vulnerable residents to safer locations. The DMC stated that 104 individuals from 29 families are currently staying at two safety centres established for those displaced by the ongoing weather conditions.
Disaster management officials continue to monitor the situation closely as unsettled weather persists in several parts of the island.
