The Department of Meteorology has issued a weather advisory, warning of fairly heavy rainfall and strong winds across multiple regions of the country over the coming days.
According to the forecast, showers of more than 50mm are likely at several locations in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and North-western provinces, as well as in the districts of Galle, Matara, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya. Residents in these areas are advised to remain alert to possible localized flooding, slippery roads, and disruptions to daily activities.
In addition, strong gusty winds between 40-50 kmph can be expected at times over the western slopes of the central hills, and in the Central, Northern, North-central, and North-western provinces, along with the districts of Trincomalee and Hambantota.
Authorities have urged the public, especially those in hilly and coastal regions, to exercise caution. The strong winds may pose risks to outdoor activities, construction work, and transportation, while heavy rainfall could trigger minor landslides in vulnerable areas.
The Met Department continues to monitor the situation closely and encourages the public to stay updated through official weather alerts and advisories.
