East Coast
Rainy season: October-December
Dry season: May-September
The east coast regions, including Passekudah and Kuchchaveli, get the full force of the north-eastern monsoon, so we don’t advise travelling there between October and December. However, while the rest of the country gets rain from the southwest monsoon between May and September, the east coast gets sunshine aplenty, temperatures around the mid-30s, and low levels of humidity, making this the best time to travel to Sri Lanka's east coast.

South Coast
Rainy season: October
Dry season: November to April
Many of Sri Lanka’s best beaches are found on the south coast, in Galle, Tangalle, and Weligama. This region can get heavy rain in October, making the best time to travel to Sri Lanka for beach weather between late November and April. You'll find temperatures around the mid to high-twenties, and rainfall at its lowest.

West Coast
Rainy season: May to September
Dry season: October to April
The weather on the west coast of Sri Lanka is influenced by the southwest monsoon, which brings rain from May to September. During this period, the region experiences hot and humid conditions with frequent rainfall, particularly afternoons and evenings. Instead, the best season to visit Sri Lanka’s west coast is the dry season, from October to April. Temperatures generally range from 27°C to 32°C during the day, providing warm and balmy weather for beach activities and exploration.

Kandy and Hill Country
Dry season: December to April
Rainy season: May to July
Sri Lanka’s Hill Country is around 2,000 metres above sea level, so naturally has much cooler temperatures than other parts of the country, which is great for those keen to hike Adam’s Peak. The hiking season begins in December and runs until May when the weather is at its driest. Kandy, which is lower down, sees hotter temperatures, which average around 30˚ C in those months.
The best time to visit Sri Lanka overall is between December and mid-April, when the climate is hot and sunny, with very little rain across most of the country.
