The Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre has issued a strong wind advisory for several areas, warning of wind speeds of up to 50 kmph during the next 24 hours. The advisory, issued at 11.00 a.m. on July 19 and valid until 11.00 a.m. on July 20, applies to the Northern, North Central, Central and North Western provinces, as well as the Ratnapura, Hambantota and Trincomalee districts. The centre said strong winds of around 40–50 kmph could occur at times over the western slopes of the Central hills and the affected areas due to active south-west monsoonal conditions. The public in these areas has been advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
