Affected Regions
Showers and thundershowers are anticipated at various intervals across a number of provinces and districts. The areas expected to experience wet conditions include:
- Western Province
- Sabaragamuwa Province
- North-western Province
- Kandy District
- Nuwara-Eliya District

Precautions Advised
With rainfall totals potentially surpassing the 75 mm threshold in some locations, authorities have advised the public to exercise caution, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on official weather bulletins and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy downpours.
