An extreme weather advisory has been issued due to the rising temperatures across the island, with temperatures soaring above 35C.
This is because the sun will be directly over Sri Lanka from August 28 to September 06 because of its movement southward, the Meteorological Department noted.
Accordingly, the sun will be directly overhead at Delft Island, Pooneryn, Thadduvankoddi and Chundikkulam at around 12:11 p.m. tomorrow (28).
In light of the rising temperatures, health experts have advised people to avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight and the outdoors, and to drink plenty of fluids frequently to avoid dehydration.
“Overexposure to the sun may lead to complexities on certain people and thus it is better for everyone to stay away from the sun,” the meteorological department advised.
