    Heavy rains, rough seas expected: Naval and fishing communities be vigilant Featured

    May 03, 2018

    Prevailing rainy condition in the island is expected to enhance from tomorrow (04th of May).

     

    Showers or thundershowers will occur at several palaces in the most parts of the island after 2.00 p.m.

     

    Showers will occur in the Western, North-western and Southern coastal areas during the morning too.

     

    Fairly heavy falls, about 75mm can be expected in Central and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in Galle, Matara, Anuradhapura and Vauniya districts.

     

    Misty conditions can be expected at some places in the Sabaragamuwa and Central provinces during the morning.

     

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

     

    Marine Weather

     

    Due to the active cloudiness in the Southern and western sea areas, the possibility for heavy showers/thundershowers and sudden roughness, associated with sudden increase of wind speed (up to 70-80 kmph) in the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Potuvil via Hambantota is high. (Naval and fishing communities are requested to be vigilant in this regards)

     

    Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Batticaloa via Galle and Hambanthota. Heavy showers will occur in the deep sea areas to the South-East of the island.

     

    Winds will be Westerly to South-westerly in direction in the sea areas around the island and speed will be 20-30 kmph.

     

    Wind speed can increase up to 40-50 kmph in the sea areas off the coast extending from Puttalam to Kankasanturai via Mannar and Matara to Potuvil via Hambantota.

     

    Temporarily very strong gusty (up to 70-80 kmph) winds and rough seas can be expected during thundershowers.
