Here is a summary of the times of the year that determine the climate of Sri Lanka.
The highest mountain is Pidurutalagala (or Mount Pedro), 2,524 meters (8,280 feet) high. Also the proximity of the extreme south of India, which partly protects the north-west, and the inland elevations, which are higher in the south-central part of the island, influence the intensity and the distribution of rainfall in the different areas: the rainiest areas are the south-western mountain slope and the coastal area where Colombo is located, while the driest ones are the north-west coast (see Jaffna, Mannar) and the south-east coast (see Hambantota). Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, is a island country located south-east of India, just north of the Equator, and has a tropical climate, with hot, humid weather all year round.Įven though the country is small, there are significant differences, especially as regards to the distribution of the rainfall, whose pattern is determined by the monsoon regime, but also by the two zenith passages of the sun (that is, when it shines directly overhead in the sky at mid-day), which occur in early April and early September. The interior - Anuradhapura, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya.
