The atmospheric conditions are becoming favourable for afternoon thundershowers in most parts of Sri Lanka for the next few days starting from today (Oct 31), the Department of Meteorology said.
Accordingly, showers or thundershowers will occur in most parts of the island during the evening or night today.
Showers or thundershowers may occur in several places in the Northern and Eastern provinces during the morning. Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in the Uva, Eastern and North-central provinces.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas around the Island during the evening or night. Showers or thundershowers may occur at several places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Mannar to Batticaloa via Kankasanthurai and Trincomalee during the morning too.
Winds will be Westerly to South-westerly in direction and wind speed will be 20-30 kmph. The sea areas around the island can be moderate at times. Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers. (Newswire)
