May 12, Colombo (LNW): The low pressure area located northeast of the Sri Lanka continues to persist in the sea area vicinity of island, and due to the influence of this system, the current rainy conditions in the island are expected to continue for the next few days, the Department of Meteorology said in its daily weather forecast today (12).
Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in most parts of the island and Cloudy skies are expected.
Heavy falls above 100 mm are likely at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, North-western and Northern provinces and in Trincomalee district.
The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damage caused by temporary localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
