The Department of Meteorology says that the depression in the South West Bay of the Bengal sea area has entered the island from the east coast and is passing through Sri Lanka.
Due to this, the department stated that there may be rain or thundershowers from time to time in many parts of the island.
In some places in Eastern, Uva, Central, Sabaragamuwa, Western, South and North-West provinces and Polonnaruwa district, more than 150 mm may occur. In some places, other provinces will receive possible heavy rains of 75 mm.
The wind blows from time to time across the island. It is said that there is a possibility of strong winds of around (40-50)kph.
The Department of Meteorology urges individuals to take the required precautions to reduce the risks brought on by storm-related lightning and transient high winds.
