The Department of Meteorology says showers or thundershowers can be expected over most parts of the island after 2:00 p.m. today (Oct. 20).

As such, fairly heavy showers of about 75mm can be expected at some places in Uva, Central and Eastern provinces.

Showers will occur in Western and Southern provinces during the morning too.

The general public is advised to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
