[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Sri Lanka has two main climatic zones - the Dry Zone and the Wet Zone, with an Intermediate Zone in between. The Dry Zone includes nearly two-thirds of the island, and receives less than 2000 mm rain annually. The Wet Zone, in the south and southwest of the island, receives 2500 mm to 5000 mm of annual rainfall. The rainfall in Sri Lanka comes from two monsoons - the northeast monsoon between October and January and the southwest monsoon from May to July.
