The Department of Meteorology announced that Northeast monsoon conditions are gradually taking hold across Sri Lanka, bringing an increase in rainfall over parts of the island.
According to the forecast, showery weather is expected to strengthen over the Northern, North-Central, and Eastern provinces from tonight. Intermittent showers are likely in these regions as well as in the Uva Province.
Some areas in the Batticaloa and Ampara districts may receive fairly heavy showers exceeding 50 mm.
Meanwhile, several other parts of the country could experience showers or thundershowers after 1.00 p.m. tomorrow. Misty conditions are also expected during the early morning hours in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, and Uva provinces.
The Met Department advised the public to remain cautious and take necessary measures to prevent damage from sudden strong winds and lightning that may accompany evening thundershowers.
