The Intertropical Convergence Zone, where winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge, continues to affect Sri Lanka’s weather, according to the Department of Meteorology.
As such, showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Uva and Eastern provinces during the afternoon or night.
Fairly heavy falls above 50 mm are likely at some places, while showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places elsewhere on the island during the afternoon or night.
Showers may occur in the Western provinces and the Galle and Matara districts in the morning.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas extending from Puttalam to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle. Showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places over the other sea areas around the island.
Winds will be south-westerly and wind speed will be 20-30 kmph. Wind speed can increase up to 45 kmph at times in the sea areas off the coast extending from Chilaw to Kankasanthurai via Mannar and from Hambantota to Pottuvil.
The sea areas off the coasts extending from Chilaw to Kankasanthurai via Mannar and from Hambantota to Pottuvil will be fairly rough at times. The other sea areas around the island can be slight to moderate. Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers. (Newswire)
