The Meteorological Department forecasts predominantly dry weather across most of Sri Lanka on July 29, though scattered rainfall is expected in western and central areas.

The Meteorological Department issued a weather forecast at 5:30 a.m. on July 29, 2026, indicating that most areas of Sri Lanka will experience mainly dry conditions throughout the day.

However, localized rainfall is expected in specific regions. Showers will occur intermittently in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, as well as in the districts of Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, and Matara. The North-western province is anticipated to experience several spells of showers during the forecast period.

Wind conditions warrant attention in certain areas, with strong winds between 40 and 50 kilometers per hour expected at times over the Western slopes of the Central hills. Similar wind speeds are forecast for the Northern, North-central, and North-western provinces, and in the Hambantota and Trincomalee districts.

Residents in affected regions should exercise caution regarding the strong winds, while those in other parts of the island can anticipate relatively stable weather conditions.
