Shower spells to occur in and around Colombo

The Meteorology Department of Sri Lanka reported that several spells of showers will occur in the Western, Central, Southern, Sabaragamuwa and North-western province.

Furthermore, showers or thundershowers may occur at few places in the Eastern and Uva provinces and in the Mullaitivu and Vauniya districts after 2.00 p.m.

Fairly strong winds about 40-50 kmph should be expected in the Southern province.

As there may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers, the Department has requested the general public to take adequate precautions to minimize the damages caused by lightning activity.
