A low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal, approximately 650 kilometres east of Batticaloa, is expected to intensify into a depression by Sunday (November 15), according to the Department of Meteorology.
In its weather forecast issued at 2 p.m. on Saturday, the department said the system was expected to move northwestwards, away from Sri Lanka’s eastern coast.
However, the system is expected to bring cloudy conditions across the island on Sunday, with showers forecast in several provinces.
Showers will occur at times in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, Western and North-Western provinces, as well as in the Galle and Matara districts.
Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 75 mm is likely in some areas of the Northern and Eastern provinces.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers may develop in parts of the Uva and Central provinces and the Hambantota district during the evening or night.
Misty conditions are also expected during the early morning in parts of the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces, along with the Galle, Matara and Kurunegala districts.
The Meteorology Department advised the public to take precautions against temporary strong winds and lightning associated with thundershowers.
