Few showers today

04 Jun 2020

The Department of Meteorology weather forecast for today (4) indicates a few showers occurring in the Western and Sabaragamuwa Provinces and in the Galle and Matara Districts. Wind speed is forecasted to increase up to 40 kmph at times over in the Northern and North Central Provinces and in the Hambantota District, with mainly fair weather prevailing in the sea areas around the island. Winds will be south-westerly and wind speed will be 30-40 kmph in the sea areas around the island. Wind speed can increase up to 50-55 kmph at times in the sea areas extending from Puttalam to Mullaitivu via Mannar and Kankesanturai and sea areas extending from Galle to Batticaloa via Hambantota. The sea areas extending from Puttalam to Mullaitivu via Mannar and Kankesanturai and sea areas extending from Galle to Batticaloa via Hambantota can be rough at times. The other sea areas around the island can be fairly rough at times. The Seasonal Forecasting Division of the Department of Meteorology meanwhile suggested that near-normal rainfall is likely over most parts of the island during the month of June. However, this prediction may diverge due to the formation of depressions or cyclones in the Bay of Bengal (if so, rainfalls may increase) and in the Arabian Sea (if so, rainfalls may decrease). First week (1-6 June 2020): Below normal rainfalls are likely over most parts, particularly in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Central, and Northwestern Provinces and near-normal elsewhere. However, a slightly above-normal rainfall is likely in the Mannar and Jaffna Districts. Several spells of light showers in southwestern parts and isolated afternoon thundershowers are likely in the Eastern Province. Second week (7-13 June 2020): Above-normal rainfalls are likely in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Northern Provinces and in the Galle and Matara Districts. There is a chance of having below-normal rainfalls in the Uva Province and in the Hambantota District and near-normal rainfalls elsewhere. Showery conditions over the country, particularly in the southwestern part, are likely to enhance during 10-12 June. Third week (14-20 June 2020): Higher chance for above normal rainfall in the Western, Southern, Central, Sabaragamuwa, and Northwestern Provinces and near normal elsewhere. Heavy rainfalls are also likely in the southwestern part of the country. Fourth week (21-27 June 2020): Slightly above-normal rainfalls are  likely in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Northern Provinces and in the Galle and Matara Districts and below normal in the Uva and Eastern Provinces and in the Hambantota and Polonnaruwa Districts. Special attention is requested in the following areas:
  •         Floods and landslides in the southwestern parts
  •         Precautions to minimise damages from sudden strong, gusty winds
  •         Water conservation and management activities in the Northern, Eastern, North Central, and Uva Provinces
  •         Prevention of forest fire along the slopes of central hills
