Sri Lanka is still experiencing heavy rainfall, rising flood levels, and ongoing landslides that are affecting daily life in many districts.
A persistent low-pressure system remains positioned over the island, pulling in moisture-filled winds and causing repeated rounds of heavy rain.
In the central highlands, the soil is now fully saturated, making slopes highly unstable and increasing the risk of landslides.
Several major reservoirs are also reaching or exceeding their spill levels, which may lead to further flooding in downstream areas.
