Overview

In October 2026, meteorologists in Sri Lanka warned of potential depressions in the Bay of Bengal, forecasting heavy rains, floods, and landslides in hilly areas starting mid-month.

By November, weather conditions in Sri Lanka and the Maldives deteriorated further. Sri Lankan authorities forecast intense rainfall exceeding 75 mm, cautioning residents in low-lying and landslide-prone areas to remain vigilant. Simultaneously, the Maldives Meteorological Service issued warnings for heavy rain, thunderstorms, and rough seas due to a strengthening southwest monsoon, noting that wind gusts could reach 40 miles per hour.
