Heavy showers expected

Rains or thundershowers will occur in the Sabaragamuwa, Western, Southern, Central and Uva provinces after 2.00 p.m. today, a spokesman for the Met Department said.

Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm can be expected at some places in these areas.

A few showers will occur in the Uva province and in the Batticaloa and Ampara districts during the morning.

The public should take adequate precautions to minimise the damage that could be caused by temporary localised strong winds and lightning during thunder showers, the spokesman added.
