Several spells of showers will occur in Western, Sabaragamuwa, North-western and Northern provinces and in Galle and Matara districts. Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the other areas of the island during the evening or night. Fairly heavy showers about 75 mm are likely at some places in Uva and Eastern provinces.

Winds will be Westerly to South-westerly in the sea areas around the island and wind speed will be (20-30) kmph. Wind speed can increase up to (40-45) kmph at times in the sea areas off the coasts extending from Kankasanthurai to Puttalam via Mannar and from Hambantota to Pottuvil.

The sea areas off the coasts extending from Kankasanthurai to Puttalam via Mannar and from Hambantota to Pottuvil can be fairly rough at times. 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.
