The Department of Meteorology says that several spells of showers are expected in the Eastern, Uva, and Central Provinces, as well as in the Polonnaruwa and Hambantota Districts.
Showers or thundershowers may also occur at a few places in the Western and Sabaragamuwa Provinces and in the Galle and Matara Districts after 1.00 p.m.
Fairly strong winds, reaching speeds of up to 40 kmph, can be expected at times over the eastern slopes of the Central Hills, the Northern, North Central, and North Western Provinces, and in the Trincomalee, Hambantota, and Monaragala Districts.
In addition, misty conditions are likely in some areas of the Sabaragamuwa, Western, and Central Provinces, as well as in the Galle and Matara Districts during the early morning hours.
The general public is advised to take necessary precautions to minimise damage caused by temporary strong winds and lightning during thundershowers, the Meteorology Department said.
