Climate & Seasons
Sri Lanka enjoys a tropical climate without extremes of temperature, with averages of 80°F (27°C) in Colombo and its suburbs, rising to as much as 100°F (38°C) in the semi-arid northwest, and cooling off to 61°F (16°C) at higher elevations of the central hill country. The country experiences two monsoon periods, resulting in continuous rains for several months. The climate significantly influences both coastal plains and high mountainous regions. The southwest monsoon affects the southern, western, and central regions from May to July, while the northeast monsoon brings rain to the north and east from November to January. Positioned on the edge of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka benefits from its warm tropical waters, marking it as a pivotal point between the subcontinent and the icy reaches of Antarctica.
