What to pack for Colombo (Sri Lanka) in the spring

In the spring, Colombo typically experiences warm and humid weather with occasional rain showers.

Therefore, it is advisable to pack light and breathable clothing such as cotton t-shirts, shorts, and skirts. Light-colored garments can help reflect the sun's rays and keep you cool. Since Sri Lanka is a conservative country, it is recommended to dress modestly by avoiding revealing clothing.

Consider packing lightweight pants or long skirts, and loose-fitting tops to cover your shoulders. Additionally, bringing a scarf or shawl can come in handy for visiting religious sites or for protection from the sun. Don't forget to pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city, as well as a lightweight jacket or sweater for cooler evenings or unexpected rain showers.

Lastly, don't forget to pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun.

In the spring, Colombo experiences a hot and humid climate with temperatures ranging from 27°C to 31°C.
