According to the Department of Meteorology, the prevailing hot weather will continue until mid-April.
Its director Ajith Wijemanna advised that outdoor activities should be minimized during hot weather.
The Department said current hot weather is due to a decrease in wind speed and cloudiness in the sky.
Doctors have advised that young children, elderly people and chronic patients should be prevented from dehydration.
Drinking enough water, resting as much as possible in shaded areas, and limiting strenuous outdoor activities are important.
