Colombo, Feb 13 (Daily Mirror) - Declining wind flow in some parts of the country had resulted in people in Western, and Sabaragamuwa and Southern Provinces feeling the heat more than usual, a spokesman from the Department of Meteorology said yesterday.
Deputy Director, Department of Meteorology Merril Mendis told Daily Mirror that the wind flow in the Western Province, Southern and Sabaragamuwa have declined. “Some areas in Sri Lanka are experiencing a declining wind flow. However, the situation in the North and the East is different as there is a fairly heavy wind flow,” he said.
“This is not an unusual phenomenon as this happens during this time of the year. Temperature might increase further during the coming few months and the sun will come directly over Sri Lanka during the first week in April,” he added.
The temperature in Colombo was recorded as 35°C, Katunayake 33°C, Matara 32°C, Kurunegala 31°C, and Ratnapura 31°C as of last afternoon. In contrast, temperatures in Jaffna, Trincomalee, and Mullaitivu were under 30 degrees.

It's better to settle in North and east of Sri Lanka. Ranil will develop fast North and East so we can settle over there. Good

Those poor school children attired in the most unsuitable kind of clothing for this kind of weather! Most classrooms don't even have proper ventilation or a working fan for a class of at least 40 kids!!

How can there be any cross ventilation when buildings literally being built without any gaps between them. Plus the use of unsustainable building materials. Trees are bing cut down, every open space has been built upon. This level of heat was not experienced back in 80s and 90s.
