Western slopes of the central hills, Northern, and North-central provinces and Monaragala, Hambantota and Trincomalee districts are expected to witness moderately high winds of 40 KMPH.
Showers or thundershowers will pass off in the off shore areas extending from Puttalam to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle.

Although the rest of the sea areas around the island will remain moderate, the sea areas off the coast expanding from Chilaw to Trincomalee via Mannar and Kankesanturai will be periodically rough.
