When to go to Colombo

Planning your most awaited holiday but to an exotic location which has something outstanding to offer you? If the answer is in the affirmative then Colombo is just the perfect choice for you. The cross roads of many cultures, the home town of many ethnic groups, the sea port city of Colombo is simply spectacular. It is a mixed bag of the ancient and the new and perhaps there in lies is uniqueness. With new touches in its travel and hospitality sectors, with its colorful festivals, bazaars, buildings, temples and an abundance of natural beauty, Colombo still retains its typical Sri Lankan spirit. With the aroma of spices floating in the air you will come to realize that the city is a major sea port in Asia. After knowing so much about Colombo the most plausible question that arises in your mind is When to Go to Colombo.

The climate of a country is a major factor in deciding the time when you should visit a country. Colombo enjoys a temperate climate all round the year. The months of March- April records a maximum of 31 degrees of Celsius. The Monsoon months in Colombo are from May to August and October to January. This is the time when Colombo records the heaviest rainfall in the country. Temperatures are however low during the winter months which are much drier and the temperature keeps around 22 degree Celsius.

The rainy seasons definitely make the country look exotic but the sea stays rough and so this time should be avoided for visiting Colombo. The best time to go to Colombo is after the south west monsoons gets over. With the dry months, the climate stays fine, the sea is calm and you can enjoy your stay. So for visiting Colombo, the best time is during November to April.
