These areas may experience fairly heavy showers with rainfall exceeding 75 mm. Additionally, isolated showers are possible in the Anuradhapura, Matale, and Hambantota districts.
In Ampara, Monaragala, and Batticaloa districts, showers or thunderstorms could develop after 2:00 pm. The rest of the island is forecasted to remain dry. However, the general public is advised to take necessary precautions to mitigate potential damage from strong, localized winds and lightning during the thundershowers.
