Sri Lanka Weather

For a relatively small island Sri Lanka has a very diverse range of weather. The island can be best divided into three separate regions; the south (and west), the north (and east) and the interior. Sri Lanka is buffeted by two strong monsoon seasons so some unfortunate regions have an almost continuous monsoon from spring until late autumn. For tourist the best season to visit Sri Lanka is during the winter months but if heading in land always expect some rain. For specific Sri Lankan city weather data please see the navigation at the bottom of this page.
