A low-pressure area has formed over southeast Bay of Bengal. It is likely to move west north-westwards and intensify into a depression over southwest Bay of Bengal on 25th November.

The system may intensify further and move towards the Northern coast of Sri Lanka.

Very heavy showers above 150 mm are likely at some places in Eastern and Uva provinces due to the influence of the aforementioned system.

Advisory for sea area: The deep and shallow sea areas off the coasts extending from Mannar to Hambantota via
Kankasanthurai, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Pottuvil will be very rough to high as the wind speed can be increased up to (60-70) kmph at times. Very heavy showers or
thundershowers are likely in these areas.

Naval and fishing communities are warned not to venture to the sea areas off the coasts extending from Manna to Hambantota via Kankasanthurai, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Pottuvil, from 24th November, until further notice.
