Rain season
Kandy sits in the central highlands and receives rain from both monsoons, making it one of Sri Lanka's wetter inland cities. The northeast monsoon (October–January) is the main rainy season; the inter-monsoon periods bring heavy afternoon showers. The surrounding hills accelerate uplift and intensify rainfall — totals regularly exceed 2,000mm. Temperatures stay mild year-round due to elevation.
