Northern, North-central, Eastern and Uva provinces and Matale district will receive heavy rainfall (above 75mm) starting from tonight (02) due to a low-pressure condition forming in the south-east Bay of Bengal.

“Naval and fishing communities are advised not to venture into the southeast Bay of Bengal until further notice,” the Department said in a weather warning.
Several spells of showers or thundershowers will also occur in Kandy and Hambantota districts.
