June weather forecast
Sri Lanka

June in Sri Lanka is dominated by the continued influence of the southwest monsoon, ensuring consistent rainfall in several parts of the country. The average temperature generally oscillates between 20°C (68°F) to 26.5°C (79.7°F). In high-altitude areas, such as Nuwara Eliya, cooler conditions prevail with temperatures ranging from 10°C (50°F) to 23°C (73.4°F).

While the heat of May sees a modest decline, June still remains relatively warm, especially in the northern and southeastern zones. The southwest regions, on the other hand, experience consistent rainfall, making the environment considerably cooler and more humid than the drier areas.

The showers are particularly pronounced in the southwestern coastal belt and the Central Highlands. In contrast, regions on the eastern coast, including Batticaloa, benefit from their geographical positioning, receiving limited rainfall and enjoying sunnier days in comparison to the rest of the island.

Transitioning to July, Sri Lanka sees a continuation of the monsoonal influence. Rainfall persists, especially in the southwestern regions, but there's a gradual reduction in overall precipitation as the country moves deeper into the month and approaches the tail end of the southwest monsoon.
