The Department of Meteorology reports that the Deep Depression positioned near latitude 12.3°N and longitude 80.6°E—approximately 300 km north-northeast of Kankasanthurai—is gradually moving northward, away from Sri Lanka, and is expected to weaken over time.
As the system shifts, intermittent showers are forecast in the Northern, Western, Sabaragamuwa and Southern provinces, as well as in the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts.
The Met Department further notes that isolated showers or thunderstorms could develop in parts of the Uva Province and in the Batticaloa and Ampara districts after 2 p.m.
Authorities urge the public to exercise caution, particularly regarding sudden strong winds and lightning associated with evening thundershowers.
