Showers expected in several provinces

Several spells of showers will occur in Sabaragamuwa, Central, Western and North-Western provinces and in Galle and Matara districts, stated the Meteorology Department.

Wind speed can increase up to (40-50) kmph at times over the island particularly in Northern, North-central and North-western provinces and in Hambantota, Trincomalee and Matale districts and along the western slopes of the central hills.

Coastal inundation is likely along the coast extending from Beruwala to Hambantota via Galle due to the effect of swell waves. People who are living in coastal areas are requested to be vigilant in this regard.
