Generally speaking, the coastal areas of Sri Lanka enjoy temperatures averaging 28°C (82°F) while the upland areas are cooler and more temperate, with a yearly average around 16-20°C (60-68°F).

CLOTHING
The following items are mandatory: helmet, motorcycle jacket with protection, gloves, a good hard-wearing (motorcycle) trousers with protection or separate knee protection and solid high (mountain) boots. In the lower areas, it’s mostly warm with tropical temperatures, therefore we advise bringing a summer motorcycle jacket. In the mountains, it can be cold, especially on the Horton Plains. We therefore advise wearing warm clothing underneath your motorcycle gear. Furthermore, a good pair of sunglasses is very important as well as a helmet with a visor which protects against dust.
