April 29, Colombo (LNW): The Intertropical Convergence Zone (where winds from the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere converge) happens to be further affecting the island’s weather, and showers or thundershowers, therefore, will occur at most places of the island during the afternoon or night, the Department of Meteorology said in its daily weather forecast today (29).
Showers may occur in Southern and Western provinces and Puttalam, Mannar and Jaffna districts in the morning too.
Heavy falls about 100 mm are likely at some places in Central, Uva, Eastern and North-central provinces and in Vavuniya and Mullaittivu districts.
The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by temporary localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
