According to the Met Department, the Low-Pressure Area in the southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to move west-northwestwards and reach over the southwest Bay of Bengal off Sri Lanka and the Tamil Nadu coasts around 11th December.
Naval and fishing communities, engaging in activities in the South-west Bay of Bengal are requested to remain vigilant in this regard.
Due to the influence of the Low-Pressure Area, showers will occur at several places in the sea areas extending from Batticaloa to Kankasanthurai via Trincomalee today.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Hambantota via Galle during the evening or night.
Winds will be North-easterly in direction in the sea areas around the island, while wind speed will be 30-40 kmph.
The sea areas around the island will be moderate. Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers. (Newswire)
