Low-Pressure System in Bay of Bengal Could Bring Afternoon Thundershowers

Date:

November 13, Colombo (LNW): A low-pressure area is formed over the south west Bay of Bengal. Under its influence, atmospheric conditions are favorable for afternoon thundershowers in most parts of the island, today (November 13) and in the next few days.

Several spells of showers will occur in Northern Province. Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places elsewhere during the evening or night.

Heavy showers about 100 mm are likely at some places in Central, Uva, Sabaragamuwa, and Southern provinces and in Kalutara district.

Misty conditions can be expected at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces and in Galle and Matara districts during the morning.

The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
