Sri Lanka is a tropical country with unique dry and wet seasons. Sri Lanka can lay genuine claim to being a year-round holiday destination. Temperatures are fairly constant year round, with coastal regions enjoying average temperatures of 25-30°C and the highlands 15-18°C on average. The coastal areas are both warm with a bit of humidity due to the mixing of the ocean moisture. However, there are certain areas along the coast that are cooled by the ocean breeze.
