Weather and Climate in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has a tropical climate with warm weather year-round. Depending on the season, you may experience monsoon rains, so here’s what to consider:

• Clothing: Bring light, breathable clothing, and an umbrella or raincoat if visiting during the rainy season. Modest attire is recommended for visits to religious or cultural sites.
• Hydration and Sun Protection: Protect yourself from the tropical sun with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses, and remember to stay hydrated.

Currency and Payments

• Currency Exchange: The local currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). We recommend exchanging some currency upon arrival for smaller expenses, though credit and debit cards are widely accepted at Asiri Health and other major establishments.
• ATMs and Card Usage: ATMs are available throughout the country. Be sure to check with your bank about international card usage and inform them of your travel plans to avoid any inconvenience.
