The Department of Meteorology says showers or thundershowers will occur at several places over most parts of the country during the afternoon or night today.
Fairly heavy showers of about 75mm are likely at some places in the Central, Sabaragamuwa and Western provinces, and in the Galle and Matara districts.
The public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by temporary localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Mannar to Matara via Puttalam, Colombo and Galle and in the sea areas off the coast extending from Pottuvil to Trincomalee via Batticaloa.
Winds will be south-easterly to south-westerly and wind speed will be (20-30) kmph. The sea areas around the island will be slight. (NewsWire)
