As per Skymet Weather, the reason for these rains can be attributed to the low-pressure area which is over Southwest Bay of Bengal off Sri Lanka coast. Now, this system has intensified into a Depression and lies over Southwest Bay of Bengal off Sri Lanka coast. This system is likely to move in a west-northwest direction and is likely to cross Sri Lanka coast and may intensify into a Deep Depression in the next 24 hours.
