Sri Lanka climate season

Climate & Seasons
Sri Lanka enjoys a tropical climate without extremes of temperature: which averages 80 OF (27 OC) in Colombo and its suburbs, rising to as much as 100 OF (38 OC) in the semi-arid northwest and cooling off to 61 OF (16 OC) at higher elevations of the central hill country. Tropical monsoons mean rains at a stretch for some months. Sri Lanka certainly has no dearth of rains as it has two monsoons and two inter monsoon periods. Sri Lanka’s climate has wide influence on both the coastal plains and other low lying areas as well as the high mountainous regions The southwest monsoon which mainly affects the southern, western and central regions during May to July; while the northeast monsoon brings rain to the north and east from November to January. The Indian Ocean’s warm tropical embrace seems to linger in a caress at this, the very edge of Eden, spearheading the subcontinent’s plunge south to seas that lie unbroken by any other land-mass until they shift and shape the icy shores of mighty Antarctica.
