The Department of Meteorology today issued Advisory for Heavy Rain and Winds says that the low pressure area now located to the west of Sri Lanka and it is further moving away from the country. Under the influence of this system, the possibility for heavy showers or thundershowers and sudden roughness, associated with sudden increase of wind speed (up to 70-80 kmph) in the sea areas extending from Puttalam to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle is still high. Therefore fishing and naval community are requested to be vigilant in this regards.
