Fairly strong gusty winds are expected over the country (up to 40-50kmph) and surrounding sea areas (up to 60kmph).
The showery condition is expected to reduce again by today and likely to enhance during 19th-20th of February (particularly in the southern half of the island).
Several spells of showers will occur in the Eastern and Uva provinces and in the Hambantota district.
Showers or thundershowers are likely at a few places in the Sabaragamuwa province and Galle and Matara districts after 2.00 pm.
There may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers. General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning activity.
