Additionally, there's a likelihood of showers or thundershowers in the North-central, Central, and Northwestern provinces, as well as the Mannar district, either in the afternoon or night.

Misty conditions may prevail in certain areas of the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Central provinces, as well as the Galle and Matara districts during the morning hours.
