By: Isuru Parakrama

Colombo (LNW): Atmospheric conditions over the island are favourable for thunderstorms during the evening and night, and thundershowers accompanied by severe lightning are likely to occur at several places in Western, Eastern, Northern, North-Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva and North-Western provinces and in Kandy and Matale districts, the Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre of the Department of Meteorology said in two advisory statements this (19) afternoon.

Heavy showers above 100 mm are likely to continue at some places in Central, Sabaragamuwa, North-Western and Uva provinces.

There may be temporary localised strong winds during thundershowers, and the General Public, therefore, is kindly advised to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by lightning activity.
