The Department of Meteorology announced that the prevailing rainy weather conditions affecting most parts of Sri Lanka are expected to gradually ease over the next few days.

According to the Met Department, showers are expected today (22) in the Uva Province and in the districts of Ampara, Batticaloa, Matale, Nuwara Eliya, and Hambantota. Meanwhile, most other areas of the country are likely to experience mainly dry weather conditions.
