Showers expected in several provinces

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

Showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in Uva province in the evening or night.

Wind speed can increase up to (60-70) kmph at times in Southern province, Polonnaruwa, 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 and due to the effect of swell waves.

People who are living in coastal areas are requested to be vigilant in this regard.
