In June, Sri Lanka is dominated by monsoon winds and heavy rains. They make all the southwestern regions of the country unattractive for recreation. The rainiest areas are in the south - Tangalle and Mirissa. In the western province, the chance of precipitation is less. They can go on for 2-4 hours a day, pour without stopping or subside for several days, then to recharge with renewed vigor. In general, compared to May, the rains become less.

The sky over the southwestern provinces is most often covered with clouds, but the temperature rises steadily during the day to +30 °C and above, and at night it drops to only +25 °C. Swimming in the ocean, which is quite dangerous, does not bring relief - the temperature in it and on land is almost the same.

Bad weather does not scare away tourists, although there are fewer of them. Experienced travelers know that at the beginning of summer in the northeast of Sri Lanka, the weather is dry and clear. During the day, the temperature in Trincomalee, one of the hottest resorts in the region, reaches +33 ° C. The subequatorial climate is quite easily tolerated, thanks to relatively low humidity and saving sea breezes.

If you want to go to the tropical island of Sri Lanka in June, then you have chosen one of the most best months. Numerous hours of sunshine and rare rains - such is the weather in Sri Lanka in June over most of the island. However, it is worth remembering that on the west coast this month is the rainy season, although there is relatively little rainfall. On the other hand, precipitation allows plants to bloom with new colors and become fresh green.
Parts of Sri Lanka can get pretty hot in June, so avoid visiting these areas if you can't handle the heat.

Weather in Sri Lanka in June

Although the hottest months are behind us, the weather in Sri Lanka in June is still hot. The highest daily temperatures on the island are observed in the north, in the Jaffna region, where the average daily temperature is 33.5 degrees. It's also hot on the east coast between Tricomalee and Batticaloa, where the average daily temperature is 33.2 degrees.
As for the weather in June on the southern and western coasts of Sri Lanka, it is not so hot, as average temperature in the area between Colombo and Galle is 31.0 ° C. Sometimes there are days with temperatures above 35 degrees, but this is more the exception than the rule. By the way, at night here the temperature drops to 25-27 degrees, but there is no question of any coolness.
If you want to find a cool place in Sri Lanka, then you will find it in the central highlands south of Kandy, where the daytime temperature is 17.7 degrees. Southwest of Kandy is the rainiest region of Sri Lanka, which receives 679 mm of precipitation for the whole of June. On the southwest coast this month, the amount of precipitation is low (only 87 mm), despite the ongoing rainy season. On the northwest coast, rainfall is rare in June, as the average is only 5mm of rainfall this month. This means that for the whole month only 1-2 times a little rain is possible.
By the way, the east coast south of Trincomalee gets about 10mm of rain in June, so this is another pretty dry region of Sri Lanka this month.

Where to go to Sri Lanka in June

Where is the best place to relax in Sri Lanka in June? The choice of vacation spot depends mainly on your goals and on some other factors. For example, package tourists most often choose resorts on the west coast, since almost all the hotels where Russian tour operators sell tours are located here. In addition, this area is close to the Colombo airport. Nonetheless, the best places for holidays in Sri Lanka in June, especially for those tourists who are looking for beaches without waves, are the northwest coast in the Kalpitiya region, the north coast in the Jaffna region and the east coast between Tricomalee and Batticaloa. The weather in these areas is very dry, with little or no rain. In addition, there are quite calm ocean, so the conditions for swimming and snorkeling are almost ideal.
The southwest monsoon will lose its strength in June, so the weather on the west coast this month is not as rainy and windy as in May. However, no cooling occurs, so expect temperatures between 28 and 32°C during the day.
On the east coast of Sri Lanka in June, the peak of the dry season, so the rains here are so rare that no one even prepares for them and does not take into account. It is also important that the air humidity here is very low. True, the temperature during the day can reach 38 ° C, which makes the weather unbearable. Even at night there is no cooling.
The south coast of Sri Lanka is a good place to stay in June. The weather here is unstable, but there are almost no long rains. Mostly short-term showers fall, the consequences of which disappear within 1-2 hours after their completion. It is worth noting that in most cases the daily temperature in the south is 30-32 ° C, and such heat as in the northeast and east does not happen here. So if you are looking for a less hot region of Sri Lanka for a holiday in June, then we advise you to pay attention to the south and southwest of the island.
In the cool central highlands of Sri Lanka, daytime temperatures are usually between 17-20°C, but there are often unexpected rains that you need to be prepared for every day.
Where is the best place to go on an excursion in Sri Lanka in June? It seems to me, given month well suited for exploring the ancient cultural centers of Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura and Sigiriya in the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka. Temperatures during the day here fluctuate between 29 and 33 degrees, so they are well tolerated. At least in April and May, this region is hellishly hot. However, while touring the Cultural Triangle, one should always be prepared for a brief tropical downpour.

The best beaches in Sri Lanka in June

June is one of the best months of the year for a beach holiday in Sri Lanka. Often travel agencies do not recommend traveling to this island in June, explaining everything by the rainy season. But travel agents have a very general approach to the weather in Sri Lanka, so they often think in a standard way and believe that the rainy season lasts half a year on the island and the holiday season lasts the same. This approach is explained only by the fact that travel agents simply do not understand or do not want to understand the peculiarities of the weather in Sri Lanka.
The fact is that in June it rarely rains in Sri Lanka, even on the western and southern coasts, where the rainy season really lasts at this time. However, the rains tend to fall in the afternoon as short but intense downpours.
Beaches without waves in Sri Lanka in June can be found almost everywhere. Although on the western and southern coasts, calm water does not happen every day. In the northeast, north and northwest of Sri Lanka in June you will find many beaches without waves. It is here that best beaches for swimming and snorkeling at this time of the year. But still it is worth remembering that on the east coast of Sri Lanka the weather can be unbearably hot.

What to see in Sri Lanka in June

In June, Sri Lankan Buddhists celebrate Poson Poya. This is a rather inconspicuous holiday compared to other full moon festivals. Temples are decorated, streets and houses shine in the light of countless oil lamps and lanterns. The grandest celebration of this day takes place in the small town of Mihintale, not far from Anuradhapura. Mihintale is considered the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Thousands of pilgrims from all over the country come here to celebrate the holiday with prayers, music and dancing.
For visiting the national parks of Sri Lanka, June is perfect month due to relatively low rainfall. At the same time, in previous months, the rains filled the rivers and lakes, and the landscape of the parks became beautiful. June is ideal for animal watching, as many wild animals give birth and care for their young during this time.
But still, I would not recommend visiting nature reserves in the eastern part of Sri Lanka in June, because due to the hot weather, the animals here are not particularly active during the day.

Sri Lanka in June: reviews of tourists

Alexander, Krasnodar
Although I thought that in June the rainy season in Sri Lanka, I decided to take a chance and go to this island. Our hotel was in Hikkaduwa. In truth, I was very glad that during the rest there was almost no rain. At the very least, I was expecting a few long showers, but in fact, there were only a couple of short showers in the evening.
Mostly enjoyed beach holiday, but still went to the elephant nursery, the zoo and the city of Colombo. In general, I liked everything, but a walk around Colombo did not bring pleasure because of the heat and stuffiness.

Anna, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk
I chose Sri Lanka because I don’t like to spend a lot of time in a hotel, but I love to travel around the country, watch all sorts of waterfalls, parks, sights. Before that we were in Goa, and we really liked it. Now we decided to go to Sri Lanka, as it looks like India. As a result, we even liked Sri Lanka more than Goa, although we couldn’t really swim in the ocean. They lived in a resort just south of Colombo, but traveled all over the western and southern coasts. We went to Kalpitiya, Jaffna, Tricomal, National parks visited Kandy. In general, we spent a lot of money on transport and excursions.
As for the weather, it was too stuffy here for me, although the guide said that it could be worse. They tolerated the heat normally, but they saw how some adults suffer.
