weather alert

The Department of Meteorology says intermittent showers may occur tomorrow (12) in the Northern, North Central, Uva, Eastern and Central Provinces, as well as in the Hambantota District.

In other parts of the country, scattered showers or thundershowers are likely after 1.00 p.m.

Some locations in the Eastern, Uva and Sabaragamuwa Provinces may experience heavy rainfall exceeding 50 millimetres.

Misty conditions are expected during the early morning hours in parts of the Western, Sabaragamuwa and Central Provinces, and in the Galle and Matara Districts.

The Department of Meteorology urges the public to take necessary precautions to minimise damage caused by temporary strong winds and lightning associated with thundershowers.

Meanwhile, showers may occur at times in the sea areas off the coast from Kankesanthurai to Pottuvil via Trincomalee. Elsewhere around the island, isolated showers or thundershowers may develop during the evening or night.

Winds in the sea areas around the island will blow from an easterly to north-easterly direction, with speeds of around 25–35 km/h.

Wind speeds may increase up to 45 km/h in the sea areas off the coast from Chilaw to Kankesanthurai via Mannar, and from Galle to Pottuvil via Hambantota.

These sea areas may become fairly rough at times, while the remaining sea areas around the island are expected to be slightly rough.
