A red alert (Take Action) on heavy deluge has been issued for ten districts, the Department of Meteorology said today.
They said fairly heavy rainfall of more than 100 mm could be expected in some places in Eastern, North-Central, and Uva provinces, as well as in Mullaitivu, Vavuniya, and Matale districts.

Accordingly, the ten districts, including Mullaitivu, Vavuniya, Trincomalee, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Matale, Batticaloa, Ampara, Badulla, and Monaragala, have been alerted over the weather conditions.
