April’s weather in detail
Throughout April the beaches in Sri Lanka's south and west are still enjoying plenty of sunshine, with temperatures remaining up in the mid-30°C's. On the east coast it’s also good news, with rainfall on the decline and plenty of sunshine and blue skies expected.
Heading inland, it’s a similar story in the Cultural Triangle, with temperatures heading towards the mid-30°C's and very little rainfall. If you plan on climbing Sigiriya Rock be sure to go early to avoid the heat. To the south, Kandy and the hills of the Tea Country are expecting rainfall well below their monthly average and temperatures hover around the mid-20°C's, making April an ideal month for trekking the Knuckles Mountain range.
