Sri Lanka: Climate & Weather
The climate in Sri Lanka is tropical, with an alternation between the monsoon and dry season that gradually sweeps through all regions of the island; however, this means that one part of the country is always enjoying great weather.
The season of Yala, from May to August, brings heavy rains to the south, west and centre. Maha season takes in its turn the monsoon from October to January to the northern and eastern parts. It would therefore be more pleasant to visit the west and south from December to March, and the east from May to September to take advantage of the dry season.
The temperature is constant at around 27 ° C on the coast, both the air and the water!
