Light to moderate rains will continue for next three days thereafter, the rain intensity will increase as a Low-Pressure area which is developing over Andaman and adjoining the southeast Bay of Bengal will move towards Sri Lanka. Rains will increase significantly by November 26.
During that time heavy to extremely heavy rains are possible over the eastern parts of the country. The hefty showers may also lead to waterlogging and flooding.
