The Meteorology Department on Friday (10 Nov.) warned that showers or thundershowers are likely in several places across the island after 1pm.
Accordingly, fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in the Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa and Uva provinces, while showers may also occur in the Northern province and in the Trincomalee district during the morning..
Misty conditions are also to be expected at some places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North-central and Uva provinces during the morning.
Thus, the general public has been requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
