Climatically the driest and best seasons are from December to March on the west and south coasts and in the Hill Country, and from May to September on the east coast. December to March is also the time when most foreign tourists come, the majority of them escaping the European winter.
氣候最干燥的季節是是12月至3月,這也是在西部和南部沿海和丘陵地區旅游的最佳季節,而5月至9月則是到東海岸旅行的最佳季節。十二月至三月是斯里蘭卡的旅游旺季,大量的外國游客紛紛來此,其中大部分是為了逃離歐洲的冬天。
Out of season travel has its advantages - it's less crowded, and many airfares and accommodation prices go right down. Nor does it rain all the time. Reefs may protect a beach area and make swimming quite feasible at places like Hikkaduwa, which during the monsoon can be quite pleasant.
在淡季出行有它的好處 - 它不那么擁擠,許多機票和住宿都有很大的折扣。而且也并使這時候的所有天氣都是雨天的。珊瑚礁可以保護海灘游泳區,在有季風吹拂的地方諸如Hikkaduwa,便可以擁有十分美好的旅游享受。
