The Meteorological Department has warned of warm weather conditions affecting multiple districts across Sri Lanka, urging the public to remain vigilant during the period of elevated temperatures.
The advisory comes as the island experiences seasonal weather patterns that are driving temperatures upward. Authorities recommend that residents, particularly the elderly and children, limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours and ensure adequate hydration throughout the day.
Official guidance suggests that people working outdoors take regular breaks in shaded areas and monitor themselves for signs of heat stress. Healthcare facilities have been placed on alert to manage any heat-related medical emergencies that may arise during this period.
The Meteorological Department urged the public to follow standard heat safety protocols and keep updated on further weather advisories as conditions develop. Residents should check official weather updates regularly for any changes to the advisory status across their respective districts.
