I am sitting in Galle right now. The weather apps almost always show a thunderstorm icon for Sri Lanka because of the humidity. Right now it is completely sunny with a few white clouds. We had a fast 15 minute rain shower early this morning, but it is totally clear now. Do not trust global weather apps for coastal tropical weather. Come down and enjoy the beach.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
