Weather forecast issued at 05.30 a.m. on 04 November 2024 by the Department of Meteorology

The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning during thundershowers as the atmospheric conditions are favorable further for afternoon thundershowers in most parts of the island.

Showers or thundershowers will occur in the most parts of the island during the evening or night. Showers may occur over the coastal areas of Western and Southern provinces and in Ampara and Batticaloa districts during the morning too. Heavy showers above 100 mm are likely at some places in Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva and Southern provinces and in Kurunegala district.

Winds will be Westerly or South-westerly in the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Pottuvil via Galle and Hambantota, and variable in the other sea areas around the island. Wind speed will be (20-30) kmph.

The sea areas around the island will be slight to moderate. Strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers.
