The low pressure area over the Gulf of Mannar is weakening, reducing its impact on Sri Lanka’s weather, the Department of Meteorology stated.

Sea warnings for fishing and naval activities from Colombo to Trincomalee via Puttalam, Mannar and Kankasanthurai have been withdrawn.

The warning for deep southwest Bay of Bengal sea areas has also been lifted.

Winds will be easterly to north-easterly at 30–40 kmph, with gusts up to 55 kmph off the coast from Puttalam to Kankasanthurai.
