Last 24 hours: Unusual here (3 days a month) · Amber · Warm Weather Advisory
- Last 24 hours: among the wettest 10% of 24-hour periods since 2000 in Bingiriya.
- 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, 13:30.
Weather forecast (Department of Meteorology) · Amber · Warm Weather Advisory
- Amber · Warm Weather Advisory. For Northern, North-Central, Eastern, North-Western provinces and Monaragala and Hambantota districts.. Heat index, the temperature felt on human body is likely to increase up to ‘Caution level’ at some places in Northern, North-Central, Eastern and North-Western provinces and in Monaragala and Hambantota districts during the daytime. The Heat Index Forecast is calculated by using relative humidity and maximum temperature and this is the condition that is felt on your body. This is not the forecast of maximum temperature. It is generated by the Department of Meteorology for the next day period and prepared by using global numerical weather prediction model data. Effect of the heat index on human body is mentioned in the above table and it is prepared on the advice of the Ministry of Health and Indigenous Medical Services. Issued 9 Oct, 16:00 · Valid until 11 Oct, 00:00.
- Forecast issued 9 Oct, 14:00
- Showers or thundershowers will occur in the most part of the island after 1.00 p.m.
- Covers Kurunegala 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.
- 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: Chance of a rare wet day
- Next day: a chance of a wet day of the kind that comes about 1–2 days a month in Bingiriya (the wettest 5% of days there; several times the usual chance). (10 Oct, 05:30 to 11 Oct, 05:30)
- Next 3 days: a chance of a wet day of the kind that comes about 1–2 days a month in Bingiriya (the wettest 5% of days there; several times the usual chance). (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.

Irrigation Department gauges on these rivers
- Moragaswewa, an Irrigation Department gauge in this division (2,019 km² upstream · rain over that area, Last 24 hours: Unusual here (3 days a month)): at least 13 mm in the 24 hours to 9 Oct, 08:30 (1 hourly reading missing); 16.8 mm in the 3 hours to 9 Oct, 18:02.
River level 1.18 m · Below Alert · rising over about 3 hours (Department’s thresholds: Alert 4.75, minor flood 6, major flood 7 m)
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.
The area draining to a crossing is worked out from a terrain model (about 90 m cells) and is approximate. The rain over it is the satellite average for that same area, against its own record since 2000. Areas under about 150 km² are smaller than the satellite can see, so they show no rain.
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.
