A warm weather alert has been issued for people living in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, and North-western provinces, along with the Monaragala, Mannar, Anuradhapura, and Vavuniya districts. According to the Department of Meteorology, the heat index, which measures how hot it feels to the human body, is expected to reach the ‘Caution Level’ in many areas tomorrow, the 16th. The Met Department explained that the Heat Index Forecast is based on relative humidity and maximum temperature, showing how the temperature feels. They warned that spending too much time in the sun and being active outside can cause fatigue, and continuing those activities may lead to heat cramps. Therefore, residents in Sri Lanka are advised to drink plenty of water and avoid heavy outdoor activities.
