These rainfall activities are attributed to the presence of the persisting low pressure which has been giving rains over the region since a long time now. The system has now weakened into a trough of low and lies over Southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Sri Lanka coast.
Now, as per weathermen, light to moderate showers will continue over some parts of Sri Lanka during the next 24 hours. The possibility of isolated heavy showers over southern districts in Coastal Sri Lanka cannot be ruled out.
However, rains will take a backseat over the nation as the weather system will move away after 24 hours.
