Under the influence of an easterly wave, showery conditions are expected to increase to some extent across the island from tomorrow (16), the Department of Meteorology said.
Several spells of showers are likely in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, Uva, and Central provinces. Showers or thundershowers may also occur at several places in other areas of the island after 1.00 p.m.
Fairly strong winds of about 30–40 kmph can be expected at times over the eastern slopes of the central hills, as well as in the Northern, North-Central, and North-Western provinces, and in Trincomalee, Hambantota, and Monaragala districts.
Misty conditions are expected in some areas of the Sabaragamuwa and Central provinces, and in Galle and Matara districts during the early morning hours.
The public is advised to take adequate precautions to minimize damage caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
