The Department of Meteorology reports that the low-pressure area lingering over the island continues to influence weather conditions, bringing widespread cloud cover across most regions today (17).
Frequent showers or thundershowers are expected in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, and Uva Provinces, as well as in the Hambantota District.
Other areas of the island are likely to experience showers or thundershowers after 1.00 p.m.
Rainfall exceeding 100 mm is possible in parts of the Northern and Eastern Provinces, while fairly heavy showers of over 75 mm may occur in several other areas.
Misty conditions may also be experienced during the early morning hours in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, and Southern Provinces.
The public is advised to take necessary precautions to minimize the risk of damage from temporary strong winds and lightning associated with thundershowers.
