The rains that lashed the country in the past day were a result of these two weather systems. As of now also, moderate rains with one or two heavy spells are likely to continue in many parts of Sri Lanka.
These rains are anticipated to continue lashing for the next 48 hours. Thereafter, there will be a respite from these moderate to heavy rains as the Northeast Monsoon is all set to commence. Due to this, rains will witness a slight reduction though the intensity of rains will continue to remain on a higher side for the eastern parts of the country such as over Jaffna, Batticaloa, and Trincomalee.
