The Department of Meteorology’s 36-hour forecast (issued at 4:00 PM) indicates that the Northeast Monsoon condition is gradually establishing across the island.
Consequently, several spells of rain are expected in the Northern, North Central, Eastern, and Uva provinces, as well as in the Matale and Nuwara Eliya districts.
Rain or thundershowers may occur in the remaining parts of the island after approximately 1 PM.
The department warns that fairly heavy falls of over 50 mm are likely at some places in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, and in the Galle and Matara districts.
Furthermore, misty conditions can be expected during the early hours of the morning at some locations in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, and Uva provinces.
