Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 50 mm is likely at some locations in the Eastern and Uva provinces. Elsewhere, showers or thundershowers may occur at several places after 1:00 pm.
The Meteorology Department also warned that some areas in the Northwestern, Western, and Sabaragamuwa provinces could receive fairly heavy showers of around 75 mm.
