According to the latest weather forecast, several spells of showers are expected in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts. A few showers may occur in the North-Western Province.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the Central, Uva and Eastern provinces and in the Polonnaruwa and Hambantota districts after 1.00 p.m. Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 50 mm is likely at some places in these areas.
