We are traveling during the summer. Will the heat be completely unbearable around midday.

Yes, exploring Anuradhapura in the midday afternoon during the summer is brutally hot and highly discouraged. Temperatures often exceed 35 degrees Celsius with intense humidity.

You must strictly limit your exploring to the early morning before 10 AM, and late afternoon after 4 PM to avoid heat exhaustion.

Remember to bring thick socks. You have to walk barefoot around the sacred stupas, and the stone paths literally bake in the afternoon sun and will burn your feet.
