The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) issued a Level 2 landslide warning for Nuwara Eliya and Badulla districts yesterday. While the main Colombo-Badulla train is currently running slowly, there are frequent delays because railway workers have to clear fallen trees and small mudslides off the tracks.

I took the train to Ella this morning. It took 12 hours instead of 9 due to the weather. Bring extra snacks.
