The possibility for evening thundershowers is high over most parts of the island during the next few days, the Department of Meteorology says.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva, Southern and North-western provinces and in Anuradhapura, Mannar and Vavuniya districts in the evening or night.
Fairly heavy falls above 50 mm are likely at some places in Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in Galle and Matara districts.
Misty conditions can be expected at some places in Sabaragamuwa and Central provinces during the morning.
The general public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
