The department stated that in the Uva province and Ampara and Batticaloa districts there may be scattered rains or thunderstorms during the evening or at night.
In the western slopes of the central hills, in the northern and north-central provinces, and in the districts of Hambantota and Trincomalee, occasional gusty winds of 40 to 45 kilometres per hour may occur.
