The Department of Meteorology has released its latest weather forecast, indicating the possibility of showers or thundershowers in certain regions of Sri Lanka. According to the forecast, Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, as well as Galle and Matara districts, may experience intermittent showers or thundershowers throughout the day.

In the Sabaragamuwa Province, Galle, Matara, and Kalutara districts, fairly heavy showers of approximately 100mm are anticipated in certain areas. Simultaneously, the North-Western province can expect several spells of showers.

As the day progresses, Uva and Central provinces, along with Ampara and Batticaloa districts, may witness showers or thundershowers in the evening or at night. The occurrence of strong winds, ranging from 40-45 kmph, is also expected in Northern and North-Central provinces, as well as Hambantota, Puttalam, and Trincomalee districts.

To ensure safety and minimize potential damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers, the general public is strongly advised to take adequate precautions.
