Accordingly, the NBRO had issued a level one warning for the Districts of Ratnapura, Galle, Kalutara, Kegalle, and Nuwara Eliya. “In such an event, people should be extra vigilant and be ready to move quickly to safe places if heavy rain continues,” it added. A total of eight persons belonging to three families in the Mullaitivu District have been affected by the heavy winds since 21 May.
