All Months
May through September gives you Jaffna's sweet spot - dry weather without the scorching heat that hits later. Temperatures hover around 28°C, perfect for temple-hopping and street wandering. The monsoon avoids this corner of Sri Lanka during these months, unlike the rest of the country. But here's what guidebooks won't tell you: come during a festival if you can handle crowds. The Nallur Festival in August transforms the entire city. Streets fill with devotees, food stalls multiply overnight, and the temple comes alive with ceremonies that run until dawn. It's chaos, but the good kind. Just book accommodation months ahead - those five decent hotels fill up fast.
