(UTV | COLOMBO) – The Department of Meteorology says cloudy skies are expected in most parts of the island today due to the low-level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka.
Accordingly, the Met Department predicts showers or thundershowers at times in the Western, Southern, North-Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa and Eastern provinces.
Heavy showers above 100 mm can be expected at some places in the Western, Central, North-Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in Galle and Matara district.
The Met Department said showers or thundershowers will occur elsewhere over the island during the afternoon or night. Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm can be expected at some places.
Meanwhile, the general public has been requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
