Heavy rains and Thunderstorms

Showers or thundershowers are expected to occur at several places over most parts of the island after 2.00 pm.

Heavy rains are being reported in the Western Province since morning which has lead to a heavy traffic congestion on the roads.

Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Eastern and Uva provinces and in Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, Matara, Mannar and Jaffna districts.

A few showers may occur in coastal areas of Western and Southern provinces in Jaffna and Mannar districts during the morning too.
