October 12, Colombo (LNW): The current showery conditions are expected to continue over the south-western part of Sri Lanka, as a result of an atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of the island.

Showers or thundershowers are forecasted at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, North-western, and Central provinces. Heavy rainfall, approximately 100 mm, is likely in some areas of the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, as well as in Galle and Matara districts.

Other areas of the island may experience showers or thundershowers during the evening or night, with fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 75 mm expected in certain locations.

Additionally, strong winds ranging from 30-40 km/h can be anticipated in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, North-western, and Central provinces.

The public is advised to take necessary precautions to minimize damage from localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
