The depression has weakened into a low-pressure area and likely to move to the western coast of Sri Lanka by today (26) morning. As this system moves away from the island, it is expected that its impact on the island’s weather will lessen from this evening.
Accordingly, showers or thunder showers will occur at times over Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North-Western and Northern provinces and in Galle and Matara districts. Fairly heavy showers above 75mm can be expected at some places in the above areas.
Strong gusty winds of about (40-50) kmph can be expected at times over country.
General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
