Last 3 days: Not unusual · Amber · Advisory for Severe Lightning
- Rain over the last 7 days has not been unusual for the divisions on this route.
- Compared with each division's own satellite record since 2000. This is not a warning and does not replace NBRI's levels. Satellites can miss heavy local downpours, so it never means a road is safe. Satellite data up to 9 Oct, 15:30.
Weather forecast (Department of Meteorology) · Amber · Advisory for Severe Lightning
- Amber · Advisory for Severe Lightning. For Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva, North-western, Southern provinces and Anuradhapura, Mannar districts.. Thundershowers accompanied with severe lightning are likely to occur at several places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva, North-western and Southern provinces and Anuradhapura and Mannar districts. There may be temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers. General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning activity. Issued 9 Oct, 11:00 · Valid until 10 Oct, 01:00.
- Forecast issued 9 Oct, 14:00
- Showers or thundershowers will occur in the most part of the island after 1.00 p.m.
- Covers Ratnapura on this road: Fairly heavy falls above 75 mm are likely at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva, North-Western and Southern provinces.
- The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damage caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
- Covers Ratnapura on this road: Misty conditions can be expected at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces during the early hours of the morning.
- A forecast never lowers or replaces the NBRI landslide warning above.
- Forecast and advisories by the Department of Meteorology, Sri Lanka, as issued. LankaWatch is not an official service.
Rain outlook (computer model) · Next day: Not signalled
- Next day: unusually heavy rain is not signalled for the divisions on this road. (10 Oct, 05:30 to 11 Oct, 05:30)
- Next 3 days: unusually heavy rain is not signalled for the divisions on this road. (10 Oct, 05:30 to 13 Oct, 05:30)
- "Not signalled" never means dry or safe. This is a computer model, not a warning, and it never changes NBRI's levels. Like the satellite, it reads hill-country rain low and can miss heavy local downpours.
- ECMWF ensemble forecast (open data, CC BY 4.0), run 9 Oct, 05:30, compared with each division's own satellite record.
None of these changes NBRI’s level.

Rivers and basins come from our own map of Sri Lanka’s river network. Flow direction, where shown, is worked out from the height of the land. This is orientation only, not a flood warning.
River levels are the Irrigation Department’s own readings at its gauge, against its own thresholds. This is not a flood warning: flood warnings come from the Irrigation Department and DMC.
