Colombo (LNW): A low level atmospheric disturbance has developed over the south east Bay of Bengal area and this system will gradually develop into a low-pressure area and then into a cyclonic storm within the next few days, the Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre of the Department of Meteorology said in an advisory statement.

Meanwhile, showery condition is expected to continue further over most parts of the island due to an atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of the island, the Centre warned, urging the public to take adequate measures to prevent any damages.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North-Western, Southern and Northern provinces and in Trincomalee district, and at several places elsewhere over the island, particularly during the afternoon or night.

Strong winds about (40-45) kmph can be expected at times over western and southern coastal areas and in the western slopes of the central hills.
