There could be heavy showers over 100mm in Anuradhapura, Trincomalee, Polonnaruwa, Puttalam and Maha Illuppallama areas.
Moreover, showers could be expected in the Sabaragamuwa Province and in Galle, Matara, Anuradhapura and Trincomalee districts, Western and North-Western Provinces and Nuwara-Eliya and Kandy districts.
The country experiences the adverse weather conditions due to the impact of the cyclonic storm “Mandous”.
The storm is centred over Southwest Bay of Bengal 240km north-east of Trincomalee and it is likely to move west-northwestwards and cross Northern Tamil-Nadu, Puducherry and South Andhra Pradesh coast over Southwest Bay of Bengal around mid-night today. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
