According to them, showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Northern, Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa and North-Western provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts.
Showers or thundershowers will occur elsewhere particularly, after 2.00 p.m.
Fairly heavy falls (about 75-100mm) are also likely at some places.
Temporary localised strong winds during thundershowers are expected and public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by lightning.
