Daily Mirror and Newswire report that heavy rain flooded several roads in Colombo and caused substantial traffic congestion on Friday evening, November 6. Newswire says delays affected motorists during the evening rush hour and extended to major roads in and around the capital and its suburbs. Newswire also reports that police advised motorists to drive carefully and use alternative routes where possible.

Newswire reports that the Department of Meteorology recorded 129 millimetres of rain in Colombo within a few hours. The same outlet says low-lying areas were inundated and flooding disrupted some activities at Colombo National Hospital; hospital staff cleared affected areas within a few hours, after which operations returned to normal.

The Department of Meteorology forecasts further showers or thundershowers after 1 p.m. across many parts of Sri Lanka, according to Newswire and Rupavahini News. Newswire reports that some locations in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and North-Western provinces, as well as Galle and Matara districts, may receive more than 100 millimetres on November 7. Rupavahini News’s forecasts describe possible rainfall above 75 millimetres in several provinces and districts.

Newswire and Rupavahini News say the department warned of temporary strong winds and lightning during thunderstorms and urged the public to take precautions. Newswire also reports expected early-morning mist in parts of the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces. In a separate forecast issued on November 6, Newswire says heavy showers above 75 millimetres were expected across parts of the country over the following 36 hours, and a weather bulletin cautioned deep-sea fishing and naval communities about a developing low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal between November 11 and 15.
