Showers will occur in several parts of Sri Lanka today, with fairly heavy falls of about 75 mm likely at some places in the Central, Eastern, Uva, Northern and North Central provinces.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-central provinces and the Galle and Matara districts.

Fairly strong winds of about 30-40 kmph can be expected at times over North-western, North-central and Southern provinces.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas around the island.

The sea areas off the coast extending from Kankasanthurai to Pottuvil via Puttalam, Colombo, Galle and Hambantota will be rough at times. The other sea areas around the island will be moderate.
