Therefore, cloudy conditions are expected to continue further and fairly strong winds can be expected over the island and surrounding sea areas during the next few days.

Showers or thundershowers at times are expected in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, and North-Western provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places elsewhere (particularly in the Monaragala, Ampara and Batticaloa districts).

Fairly heavy falls (above 50mm) can be expected at some places.

Temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers are expected and public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning.
