Weather details in december
Some regions see their climate improve, while for others - climatic conditions are deteriorating. The climate throughout December in Sri Lanka is, however, mediocre.
December in Colombo and the West Coast of the Island
The climate of Colombo is more clement, despite the abundance of rain because it usually occurs at night, allowing the tourists the opportunity to enjoy beautiful sunny days.
December in Jaffna and the Extreme North of the Island
The month of December is not famous for visiting Jaffna. Rainfall has increased in intensity and frequency. The sun can only make its way through a few thinnings.
December in Trincomalee and the Northeast of the Island
The weather in Sri Lanka throughout December is far from ideal - in Trincomalee, as elsewhere. The mornings are foggy and the rest of the day is rainy, most of the time.
December in Nuwara Eliya and the Central Plain
Despite the freshness of the atmosphere, the weather in Nuwara Eliya is still bad. The rains are indeed very abundant and the chance of having a magnificent sunshine is very slight.
