The Department of Meteorology forecast showers or thundershowers in most parts of Sri Lanka after 1 p.m. on October 12, according to Daily News and Sri Lanka Mirror. The latter reports said rain or thunderstorms could occur in parts of Ampara, Batticaloa and Mullaitivu during the morning. The Island’s forecast, issued at 5:30 a.m. on October 12, also mentioned mist in parts of the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Uva provinces early in the day.

The Island said rainfall exceeding 75 mm was possible in some locations across the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern, Uva and North-Western provinces, as well as Anuradhapura and Mannar districts. Daily News likewise reported that falls above 75 mm were expected in several areas.

Daily Mirror and Ada Derana reported forecasts of 100–150 mm in parts of several provinces. Daily Mirror listed the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Uva and Southern provinces; an Ada Derana headline referred to several provinces, while its Sinhala headline said six provinces. Newswire reported heavy-rainfall and severe-lightning advisories for parts of Sri Lanka on October 13. Divaina described rain, thunderstorms and lightning risk in five provinces during the coming week, and drier conditions in several northern and other districts.

The reports do not consistently identify the forecast period: some refer to October 12, while others cite October 13 or the following week. Ada Derana’s Tamil report also refers to October 14 and forecasts 100–150 mm in parts of six provinces. The supplied reports do not provide further details on the timing or duration of the advisories.
