The Meteorology Department said today that the country was experiencing heavy wind due to an inter-tropical convergence zone that had settled right over the country and that strong winds were also due to prevailing thunderstorms.

The inter-tropical convergence zone is the meeting of winds from the Southern and Northern hemisphere which cause heavy wind.

The coastal areas in the West, South-west and the South-east are also expected to be fairly rough. (Olindhi Jayasundere)

Why does the met dep take a few days after the rainy season has started ??? Normally the met dep should give advance forcast of the weather !
Obviously everyone knows by now how the prevailing weather would be for the next few days.

The Met Dept has now learned how to play the game: wait for something to happen and then issue a "prediction".
