News Today: Sri Lanka braces for heavy rain, thundershowers, and misty conditions across several provinces this week.

The Meteorology Department has issued a weather forecast indicating rainfall across multiple regions in Sri Lanka this week. Showers are expected in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern, Uva, and Central Provinces, as well as the Hambantota district.

In addition, thundershowers are likely to occur in the Galle, Matara, Kalutara, and Ratnapura districts during the evening or night. Residents in these areas are advised to be prepared for possible heavy rainfall and sudden weather changes.

Meanwhile, the rest of the island is expected to experience mainly dry weather conditions throughout the week. However, misty conditions may develop in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva, and North-Central Provinces, as well as in the Kurunegala district during the morning hours. Travelers and commuters in these regions should exercise caution, as mist can reduce visibility on roads, leading to potential hazards.
