Sri Lanka in late Sept / early Oct

nollag2006

Hi all

Mrs nollag and I are considering a well deserved break away from the kids in late Sept / early Oct.

I was considering Sri Lanka, but is that a bad time of the year to go? I have heard mixed reports about the weather in October.

Also, we are looking for a decent upscale hotel resort in the £1-200 per night range. Recommendations welcome

Climate

Since Sri Lanka is a tropical country, you can expect the rain anytime of the year in most parts. However, the two major rainy seasons are North-East monsoon (October to January) and South-West monsoon (May to July).
Being an island, the climate of Sri Lanka changes dramatically from one part of the country to another. For example at Nuwara Eliya, in the hills of Central Sri Lanka, has a temperature around -5-20 C throughout the year, whereas Hambanthota, located in the dry zone, has a temperature consistently around 30-35 C.



In other words you'll find sun somewhere.



I can vouch for the Southern half of the island as being paradise. Check out Ella for scenery and Unawatuna for a great beach.
