Sri Lanka Forecast: Increased Rainfall Expected from May 6th Due to ITCZ

The Department of Meteorology has announced an increase in rainfall expected across Sri Lanka from tomorrow, May 6th. This shift in weather is attributed to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and an associated low-level atmospheric disturbance influencing the island's climate. Many areas can anticipate rain or thundershowers, particularly after 1 PM daily. Some regions, including Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva provinces, and the Ampara, Batticaloa, Galle, and Matara districts, may experience heavy rainfall exceeding 100 millimeters. The department is closely monitoring the system and advises the public to stay updated on forecasts.
