The Department of Meteorology says showers are expected in a few areas of Sri Lanka today.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in the Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle and Matara districts during the afternoon or night.
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 may occur at a few places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Puttalam to Matara via Colombo and Galle during the night.
Winds will be easterly to south-easterly or variable in direction and wind speed will be 20- 30 kmph.
Sea areas around the island will be slight. Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers. (NewsWire)
