Sri Lanka, Oct. 28 -- A low-pressure area in the Southwest Bay of Bengal, is likely to move nearly westwards towards the East coast of Sri Lanka, says the Department of Meteorology.

Showery condition is expected to enhance over most parts of the island under the influence of this system.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at most parts of the island, particularly during the afternoon or night and heavy showers above 100 mm can be expected at some places.

Showers may occur in the Northern, Eastern and Southern provinces during the morning too.

The general public is urged to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
