Wind speed can increase up to (50-60) kmph at times in the deep and shallow sea areas extending from Balapitiya to Trincomalee via Colombo and Kankesanturai and from Matara to Batticaloa via Hambantota.
The deep and shallow sea areas extending from Balapitiya to Trincomalee via Colombo and Kankesanturai and from Matara to Batticaloa via Hambantota can be rough at times. The other sea areas around the island can be fairly rough at times.
Temporarily strong gusty winds (up to 70-80 kmph) and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers.
