The varied climate makes it difficult to decide when to travel to Sri Lanka<\/strong>, so tourists go there all year round. Indeed, the country has two seasons, the dry and the rainy season, something to bear in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to travel to Sri Lanka<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In general, the best time to visit Sri Lanka is between\nDecember and March, which is when it is the dry season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the high tourist season is between December and\nMarch, coinciding with the dry season. This time of year is perfect for\nvisiting the beaches of the south and the west, as well as the highlands. The\nmid-season goes from April to October, where April and September are the best\noptions for visiting. You won\u2019t find as many tourists, and there still isn\u2019t a\nlot of rain, so you will be able to enjoy the trip. During the low tourist\nseason, between May and August, the monsoon falls on the south west coast, so\nit is worth visiting the north and east of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To summarise, Sri Lanka has a tropical monsoon climate,\nwith an average temperature of 28\u00baC throughout the year. You will find two\nrainy seasons, one due to the monsoon of the south west between May and\nSeptember. The other wet season goes from October to April and is due to the\nmonsoon of the north east. October and November are the wettest months, so it\nis worth avoiding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the dry season, February is the driest month, so you\nwill be guaranteed to have the best weather for visiting the country. On the\nother hand, if you\u2019re going to the west and south coast of Sri Lanka, the ideal\nmonths are from December to April. To visit the east coast, however, it is\nbetter to travel between April and September. In July and August, the monsoon\nwill have finished in the south west of the country, so it will be a good time\nto visit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s look at when to travel to Sri Lanka depending on\nthe region you want to visit. As you have seen, the climate varies from one\nplace to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the south west of Sri Lanka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the aim of your trip is to visit the beaches of the\nsouth west of this beautiful country, it is preferable to choose January,\nFebruary and March. You will have dry and very sunny days until April, which is\nwhen the monsoon starts in this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid the months from May to August, the monsoon rains will\nbe at their peak in the area. In September the monsoon reaches its end,\nalthough there is still some rain until December. The dry season in this part\nof Sri Lanka starts in mid-December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the north east of Sri Lanka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first months of the year, between January and March,\nthe monsoon is present in this region. April continues to be rainy, so the dry\nseason doesn\u2019t start until May, and lasts until August. This period is the most\nsuitable for visiting this area, including its beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between September and December, the monsoon arrives from\nthe north east, so this time of year is when the most rain falls in the region.\nIt isn\u2019t worth visiting the area at this time due to the high probability of\nflooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the central region of Sri Lanka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Between January and April is the dry season in the central\npart of the country, so it is the best time to discover its wonders. If you\nwant to visit the World Heritage\u2019s Cultural Triangle, visit Sri Lanka during\nthese months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From May, up to and including August, the temperatures are\ngood and there is still no rain. Thanks to the winds that blow in the region,\nthe monsoon from the south west isn\u2019t able to affect the area. Remember though\nthat the warmest months are June and July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From September to December however, the rains arrive in the\ncentral region, although they are not too heavy. Therefore, avoid travelling to\nthe central region during these months if you don\u2019t want to ruin your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the mountainous region of Sri Lanka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To visit the mountains, the best time is during the dry\nseason (January, February, March and April). There is no rain and, although the\ntemperatures are a little cooler due to the altitude, they are still pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From May to August, the rains appear in the mountains,\nalthough they are still not heavy or frequent. This time continues to be an\noptimum time to visit this region. Finally, between September and December is\nwhen most rain falls in this area of the country. If you want to visit the\nfamous city of Ella and its tea plantations, avoid these months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know when to travel to Sri Lanka to have the best\nweather conditions and enjoy your visit fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
