The present rainy weather was caused by inter-monsoon conditions, but
the increased thunderstorms and heavy rains throughout the country were
caused by a low level atmospheric disturbance, Meteorologist Gayana
Hendavitharana told The Island yesterday (20).
She said heavy rains could be experienced in any part of the country
and downpours as heavy as 100 millimetres could fall during the next few
days.
The highest rainfall of 156.7 mm of rains was recorded at Neboda in the
Kalutara District while Katunayake recorded 111mm of rainfall during the
24 hours up to yesterday morning. Inter-monsoon rains could go on till the
beginning December, she said.
