The Meteorology Department says the deep depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal was located to 100 km northeast of Trincomalee at around 2.30 a.m. of November 28, 2024. 
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has directed officials to provide immediate relief services to affected people in disaster-stricken areas by gathering information on-site rather than relying solely on technological data. 
The Department of Meteorology warns that the deep depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal, which was located 110 km to the east of Trincomalee at around 11.30 a.m. today (27), is likely to move closer to the east coast of Sri Lanka and further intensify into a cyclonic storm during the next 06 hours. 
Several train services have been cancelled due to the prevailing adverse weather conditions in many areas across the island. 
The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) has reported that the prevailing inclement weather conditions have affected a total of 230,743 individuals across Sri Lanka. 
The Director of Health Services for the Sabaragamuwa Province, Dr. Kapila Kannangara, has stated that the Ratnapura District has recorded the highest number of deaths and infections from leptospirosis disease this year. Copyright © 2007 - 2024 Col3neg. All Rights Reserved.
