Disna Mudalige
The intense heat experienced in the country during the day would
continue to prevail, Meteorology Department Duty Forecaster Anusha
Warnasooriya said. She said the usual weather pattern prevailing in the
inter-monsoonal period is clear skies in the morning and thunder showers
in the evening.
She noted the humidity in the atmosphere is also high these days
resulting in perspiration and an uncomfortable feeling. She observed
that due to the clear skies in the morning, the temperature rises with
sun light and added to it, the wind blowing from the sea is also warm.
She said as the sun would be positioned directly above Sri Lanka from
April 5-15, the hot atmosphere would further increase.
The Sun will be positioned directly above the Equator on March 31.
