High tides, rough seas forecast in coming days. Met Dept.

By Yohan Perera   

The Department of Meteorology yesterday predicted surging waves and rough seas around the country in the coming days. 

“There is a possibility that in near shore sea areas off the coast extending from Beruwala to Hambantota via Galle, may experience surges due to the effect of swell waves, having 2.0 – 2.5m height,” the Department said.   

“There is a high possibility of increased wind speed up to (60-70) km/h in the sea areas off the coast extending from Kankesanturai to Hambantota via Mannar, Colombo and Galle. The sea areas could be very rough at times,” the Department added.
