Heavy Rain and Weather Reports

Sri Lanka is experiencing weather alerts for heavy rainfall with some regions expecting over 75mm of rain. Weather updates are particularly relevant for the India vs Sri Lanka cricket match in Colombo.

"75mm of rain expected" is just weather reporter speak for "your commute is about to become a swimming lesson and your roof has entered the chat." Pretty wild that we've reached a point where water falling from the sky requires its own breaking news alert, like it's not literally the whole job of clouds.
