Isolated heavy rains forecast for North, East and South west coast

Isolated heavy rains forecast for North, East and South west coast

The North, the East and the South’s west coast are likely to experience isolated heavy showers as a rather strong southwest monsoon prevails over the country, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, the Meteorological Department said on Wednesday.

It warned people in those areas to beware of the severe conditions that may cause flash floods.

The department also advised all ships to proceed with caution and small boats to keep ashore as waves in the upper Andaman Sea are 2-3 metres high and more than 3 metres during thundershowers.

Here’s the weather forecast for the next 24 hours:

North: Thundershowers in 70 per cent of the area with isolated heavy rains; temperature lows of 23-25 degrees and highs of 30-34 degrees Celsius.
