South and west coast, and the hills
The south-west monsoon generally brings rain to the west and south coasts and the hill country from around May to September. These areas are usually at their best from about December to April.
East coast and the north
The north-east monsoon generally affects the east and north from around October to January. The east coast is usually at its best from about May to September.
The in-between months
Inter-monsoon periods, roughly April and October to November, can bring afternoon thunderstorms across the island. Mornings are often still clear, and it can be a quieter time to travel.
