Showery weather is expected to strengthen across Sri Lanka from tomorrow (16) as an easterly wave begins to influence atmospheric conditions, the Department of Meteorology reported.
Intermittent rainfall is forecast for the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, Uva and Central provinces, while afternoon or evening showers and thundershowers may develop in other parts of the country after 1.00 p.m.
The Met Department also cautioned that fairly strong winds, reaching speeds of 30 to 40 kmph, could occur at times over the eastern slopes of the central hills, as well as in the Northern, North-Central and North-Western provinces and the districts of Trincomalee, Hambantota and Monaragala.
In addition, misty conditions are likely during the early morning hours in parts of the Sabaragamuwa and Central provinces, along with the Galle and Matara districts.
Authorities have advised the public to take necessary safety measures to reduce the risk of damage from sudden strong winds and lightning associated with thundershowers.
