COLOMBO, May 9 (NNN-XINHUA) – A low-level atmospheric disturbance, that developed over the south-east Bay of Bengal area, will gradually develop into a low-pressure area, and then into a cyclonic storm, within the next few days in Sri Lanka, said the Department of Meteorology, yesterday.
The fishing and naval communities are requested to be attentive to future forecasts, issued by the department, in this regard.
The department said, showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North Western, Southern and Northern provinces, and in Trincomalee district.
Strong winds of about 40-45 kilometres per hour can be expected at times, over the western and southern coastal areas, and in the western slopes of the central hills, said the department, requesting the general public, to take adequate precautions, to minimise damages caused by the temporary localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.– NNN-XINHUA
