The Department of Meteorology has warned of a significant increase in rainfall over the coming days, as a low-level atmospheric disturbance near Sri Lanka continues to develop.According to the Department, enhanced showery conditions are expected particularly in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, and Uva Provinces starting today (25). Most areas of the island will experience overcast skies throughout the period.
Frequent showers or thundershowers are likely in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern and Uva Provinces, as well as the Hambantota and Matale districts, while other regions can expect rainfall mainly after 1:00 p.m.
Meteorologists caution that rainfall exceeding 100 mm may occur in parts of the Eastern, North-Central, Uva, and Southern Provinces, with fairly heavy falls above 75 mm possible elsewhere.Additionally, gusty winds around 40 km/h are expected at times in the Northern Province and Trincomalee district.
The public is advised to remain vigilant and take necessary safety measures to minimize risks associated with strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
