Due to the active cloudiness in the south-western Sea areas, the possibility for heavy showers/thundershowers and sudden roughness, associated with a sudden increase in wind speed (up to 70-80 kmph) in the sea areas is high.
Naval and fishing communities are requested to be vigilant in this regard.
Meanwhile, a tornado was witnessed in the seas off Dodanduwa, Galle today (Mar. 19).
Our correspondent said it prevailed for around 15 minutes.
