The Department of Meteorology has issued a weather forecast for August 25, 2026, at 5:30 a.m. Residents in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and North-western provinces, as well as Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, and Matara districts, can expect intermittent showers throughout the day.
In certain areas, such as Anuradhapura, Matale, and Hambantota, fairly heavy showers, measuring above 75 mm, are anticipated. Additionally, a few showers may be experienced in Ampara, Monaragala, and Batticaloa districts after 2:00 p.m.
In contrast, the remaining parts of the island are expected to enjoy dry weather conditions. However, strong winds of approximately 40-50 kmph may be felt in specific areas, including the Western slopes of the Central hills, Northern, North-central, and North-western provinces, as well as in Trincomalee, Monaragala, Hambantota, and Matale districts.
The general public is urged to take necessary precautions to mitigate any potential damage caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning that may occur during the thundershowers.
