What to wear in Sri Lanka?

Jump to last reply

No. This isn't one of those "can I wear baseball caps and shorts in a temple?" questions. But it's almost as odd.

I'm about to go off to Sri Lanka. The Beeb says it's pouring, will carry on pouring for the forseeable future and it's also sweltering. I'm sure I'd boil to death in even my lightest English raingear.

So what do people wear in Sri Lanka when it's pouring? Just ordinary clothes and an umbrella, or what?

And does that mean I can't wear my best linen suit?
