Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Northern, Eastern, North-central, Uva and Central provinces and in Hambantota district. Heavy showers above 100 mm can be expected at some places in Eastern and Uva provinces and in Polonnaruwa, Matale, Nuwara-Eliya and Hambantota districts.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places elsewhere after 1.00 p.m. Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm can be expected at some places in Sabaragamuwa and Western provinces and in Galle and Matara districts.
