Severe Weather and Lightning Alerts

Severe weather warnings including lightning alerts have been issued across Sri Lanka's districts due to prevailing adverse conditions. Authorities have empowered provincial education officials to decide on school closures in response to the weather threats.

So we've reached the point where principals are basically meteorologists now—"Yeah, the lightning warning says 25/25 districts are getting nuked, but *I* have a gut feeling about Tuesday, so school's open." Bold strategy, really testing if kids are made of rubber.
