Astronomer Anura C. Perera says the sun will be directly overhead Colombo at 12:12 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025, causing vertical shadows to momentarily disappear.
“This is actually an optical illusion,” Perera explained. “During the first two weeks of April, the sun passes directly over Sri Lanka, resulting in maximum solar intensity. From April 5 to 15, the sun will be directly overhead at different locations across the country.”
According to Perera, this phenomenon—known as the “zenith sun” or “sun directly overhead”—will start from Point Pedro on April 4 and move across cities including Elpitiya (April 5), Kalutara (April 6), Colombo and Kelaniya (April 7), and Mahiyanganaya (April 8), before passing the country on April 15.
