Naval and fishing communities, engaging activities over the South-west Bay of Bengal are requested to be vigilant of rough seas.
As such, showers will occur at times in the sea areas extending from Pottuvil to Puttalam via Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Kankasanthurai and Mannar today.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Puttalam to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle during the evening or night.
Winds will be North-easterly in direction in the sea areas around the island. Wind speed will be 30-40 kmph. Wind speed can increase up to 50 kmph at times in the sea areas extending from Puttalam to Trincomalee via Kankasanthurai.
The sea areas extending from Puttalam to Trincomalee via Kankasanthurai will be fairly rough at times. The other sea areas around the island will be moderate. Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers. (Newswire)
