Sri Lanka is an island located in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of India. The island has a variety of tropical climates, influenced by its mountains, among other factors. In the mountains of the southern central region, temperatures are cooler, and there can even be light frost during the winter months. Many tea plantations are situated on the terraces of these mountains. The northern and eastern parts of the island are a mix of flat plains and mountain peaks. Sri Lanka has two monsoon seasons: Yala and Maha. The Yala monsoon takes place in the southwest from May to July, while the Maha monsoon affects the northeast from November to January.
