The Department of Meteorology alerted that the showery conditions and rough seas will continue over the island throughout the day with showers or thundershowers expected to occur at several places in the Northern and Eastern Provinces.
Showers of about 100 mm are to be expected at some places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Southern Provinces and in the Trincomalee District as well.
Misty conditions can be expected at some places in the Central, Sabaragamuwa, Western, and Uva Provinces and in the Galle and Matara Districts during the morning.
The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damage caused by temporary, localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
