Further enhancement of showery condition is expected over the island due to the low-pressure area existing in the southeast Bay of Bengal.

Heavy showers about 100 mm are likely at some places in the Eastern province and in Polonnaruwa and Mullaitivu districts. Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in other provinces of the island after 01.00 p.m. Fairly heavy showers about 75 mm are likely at some places in Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in Galle and Matara districts.

Winds will be north-easterly and wind speed will be (30-40) kmph in the sea areas off the coast extending from Galle to Batticaloa to via Colombo, Puttalam, Kankasanthurai and Trincomalee. Wind speed may increase up to (60-70) kmph in the sea areas off the coast extending from Mannar to Batticaloa via Kankasanthurai and Trincomalee.

Winds will be south-westerly or variable in direction in the other sea areas around the island and wind speed will be (20-30) kmph. 

The sea areas off the coast extending from Mannar to Batticaloa via Kankasanthurai and Trincomalee will be rough while the other sea areas around the Island may be fairly rough but temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers.

The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
