Vast areas in the country's southern region have been affected by floods, while water has been receding from the northern region and some other districts.
Many low-lying areas in the southern region have been flooded by a tidal surge around two to five feet high, due to strong high tides, rainfall and the new moon.
A Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre bulletin said, "There are chances of moderate to heavy rainfall in the south-western and south-central regions of the country over the next 24 hours."
Rivers in these regions may rise rapidly during this time, said the report that was released at 9:00AM yesterday.
At least three rivers were flowing above danger level yesterday.
