Weather forecast issued at 05.30 a.m. on 05 May 2024 by the Department of Meteorology
Misty conditions can be expected at some places in Central and Sabaragamuwa provinces during the morning.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places in Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in Galle and Matara districts in the evening or night.
Winds will be southwesterly or variable and wind speed will be (20-30)kmph. Wind speed may increase up to (40-45) kmph at times in the sea areas off the coasts extending from Puttalam to Kankasanthurai via Mannar and from Batticaloa to Hambanthota via Pottuvil.
The sea areas off the coasts extending from Puttalam to Kankasanthurai via Mannar and from Batticaloa to Hambanthota via Pottuvil can be fairly rough at times.
The swell waves (about 2.5 m – 3.0 m) height and wave period (about 16s-18s) may increase in the sea areas off the coast extending from Kalpitiya to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota. Therefore, there is a possibility that near shore sea areas off the coast extending from Kalpitiya to Matara via Colombo and Galle, may experience surges due to swell waves.
General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
