More thundershowers and heavy wind expected

23 Apr 2012 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The Meteorology Department said today that the country was experiencing heavy wind due to an inter-tropical convergence zone that had settled right over the country and that strong winds were also due to prevailing thunderstorms.

The inter-tropical convergence zone is the meeting of winds from the Southern and Northern hemisphere which cause heavy wind.

The coastal areas in the West, South-west and the South-east are also expected to be fairly rough. (Olindhi Jayasundere)
