Afternoon showers are also expected in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts.

Misty conditions are forecast in Sabaragamuwa, Central, and Southern provinces during early morning hours. Showers will affect sea areas from Puttalam to Pottuvil via Mannar, Kankasanthurai, and Trincomalee, with possible evening or night thundershowers in other coastal regions.
