What travellers should know
Sri Lanka has two main monsoon patterns, so weather differs between coasts. Broadly, December to March is often favourable for the south and west; May to September can suit parts of the east and north. These are planning patterns, not guarantees. October and November can bring unsettled weather across multiple regions. Check the official Sri Lanka climate guide and current local forecasts before finalising plans.
