The Irrigation Department says that due to the rains in the catchment areas, there is currently a high water level in the Attanagalu Oya, Kelani, Nilwala, Kalu and Ging rivers.
Nevertheless, according to the rainfall received so far, there is no risk of any major river reaching a flood situation in the next 24 hours, its Irrigation Director SPC Sugeeshwara said.
The Irrigation Department also said that all the main irrigation reservoirs across the island are currently 67% full.
Meanwhile, the Department of Meteorology says that several spells of showers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa, North-western and Southern provinces and in the Kandy and Nuwara-Eliya districts.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in Northern, Eastern and Uva provinces and in Polonnaruwa district during the afternoon or night.
Strong winds about (40-50) kmph can be expected at times over western and Southern coastal areas.
