Weather forecast issued at 05.30 a.m. on 30 May 2024 by the Department of Meteorology
The prevailing showery and windy conditions over the island are expected to continue further, due to the active South West Monsoonal condition.
Showers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North-western and Southern provinces. Showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in Uva province and in Ampara and Batticaloa districts in the evening or night. Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in Western and Sabaragamuwa province and in Nuwara-Eliya district.
Strong winds of about (50-60) kmph can be expected at times over Western slopes of the central hills and in North-central, Western, Southern and North-western provinces and in Trincomalee and Monaragala districts.
Winds will be westerly to south-westerly in the sea areas around the island. Wind speed will be (40-50) kmph and wind speed may increase up to (60-70) kmph at times.
The sea areas around the island will be rough or very rough due to the active south-west monsoonal condition. Naval and fishing communities are advised not to venture into the sea areas extending from Kankasanthurai to Pottuvil via Mannar, Colombo, Galle and Hambantota, until further notice and be vigilant in the other sea areas around the island.
Waves heights may increase up to (about 2.5 m – 3.5 m) in the sea areas off the coast, extending from Kalpitiya to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota. Therefore, there is a possibility that nearshore sea areas extending from Kalpitiya to Matara via Colombo and Galle, may experience surges due to sea waves.
