Showers and thunderstorms are expected across multiple provinces today (10), according to the Department of Meteorology. The heaviest rainfall - potentially exceeding 100 mm- is likely to occur in the Northern, North-Central, and Eastern provinces, while the Central and Uva provinces may experience fairly heavy showers of around 75 mm.
Isolated showers or thundershowers may also develop in several other parts of the island after 1:00 p.m.
The Met Department further noted that wind speeds could increase to 30–40 km/h at times over the Northern, North-Central, and North-Western provinces, as well as the Trincomalee district and the eastern slopes of the central hills.
Early-morning misty conditions are also expected in the Sabaragamuwa, Central, and Southern provinces.
Authorities have urged the public to remain cautious, particularly during thundershowers, to reduce the risk of damage caused by strong winds, lightning, and sudden localized weather events.
