The prevailing hot weather condition, which was forecast to disappear by mid-March with the onset of the Inter monsoonal rain, would last until mid-April, Director General of the Department of Meteorology Athula Karunanayake said.
Speaking to Daily Mirror, he said according to their analysis, no positive sings in terms of rains from the Bay of Bengal had been observed as yet.
“Thus, it will take more than a month to experience considerable spells of shower that will bring changes to the prevailing hot weather condition,” Mr. Karunanayake said.
“There can be minor spells of showers in the meantime. However, it would not be sufficient for the existing hot climatic conditions to fade away,” he said.
“We are monitoring the prevailing climate changes and will take prompt measures to inform people on any adverse condition,” he added.
He said the temperature level in several areas had increased considerably than the average level. People living in the coastal areas would feel the weather hotter than those who are living elsewhere.
Moreover, the maximum temperature of 37.3°c was reported from Kurunegala today.
Meanwhile, Department of Meteorology extended the 'Extreme Caution' heat advisory, which were issued to North-Western, Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern Provinces and Mannar and Monaragala Districts. (Sheain Fernandopulle)
