The Meteorology Department today said that it was expecting strong winds and heavy showers within the next 24 hours.

It said that there is a possibility of sudden increase in wind speed (70-80 kmph) over the island and sea areas due to the active cloudiness associated with the system. “Therefore there is a high possibility of sudden roughness of the sea areas. The atmospheric disturbances has intensified in to a low pressure and located to the west of the country,” it said.

The Department said showers or thundershowers would occur on most parts of the island and around the sea areas and said that heavy rains (150mm) are also likely at some places. (Lahiru Pothmulla)
