The
island of Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean, to the southwest of the Bay of Bengal
and to the southeast of the Arabian Sea. It is separated from the Indian subcontinent
by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait. According to Hindu mythology, a land
bridge to the Indian mainland, known as Rama's Bridge, was constructed during
the time of Rama by the vanara architect Nala. Often referred to as Adam's Bridge,
it now amounts to only a chain of limestone shoals remaining above sea level.
According to colonial British reports, this is a natural causeway which was formerly
complete, but was breached by a violent storm in 1480. The width of the Palk Strait
is small enough for the coast of Sri Lanka to be visible from the furthest point
near the Indian town of Rameswaram. The tear drop shaped island consists mostly
of flat-to-rolling coastal plains, with mountains rising only in the south central
part. Amongst these are Sri Pada (Adams Peak) and the highest point Pidurutalagala,
at 2,524 meters. The Mahaweli ganga (Mahaweli river) and other major rivers provide
fresh water to the population.
Sri Lanka's climate can be described as tropical, and quite hot. Its position between 5 and 10 north latitude endows the country with a warm climate, moderated by ocean winds and considerable moisture. Periodic squalls occur and sometimes tropical cyclones bring overcast skies and rains to the southwest, northeast, and eastern parts of the island. Between December to March, monsoon winds come from the northeast, bringing moisture from the Bay of Bengal. Humidity is typically higher in the southwest and mountainous areas and depends on the seasonal patterns of rainfall.
