Past NBRI bulletins
None of the 41 NBRI bulletins we have passed on since Sun 20 Sept listed Galle Four Gravets.
A record of past bulletins, not a forecast. Not being listed doesn’t mean safe.
Wettest days on the satellite record
The wettest days here since June 2000, on NASA’s satellite rain estimate (IMERG): November 2000, May 2010, December 2012.
Months only, never amounts: the satellite’s amounts can be far off at any one place (too low in the hills). This is not a warning.

Rivers and catchments here
×No named river on our map here · 2 basins · Gin Ganga basin rain: Rare here (1–2 days a month)
River basins this division lies in
- Gin Ganga basin
- P2 basin
Satellite rain over these basins
- Gin Ganga basin · Last 3 days: Rare here (1–2 days a month)
A whole-basin satellite average against that basin’s own record since 2000, not the area upstream of any one point. Satellites under-read hill rain. Not a warning.
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.
