The forecast shows rain for tomorrow. Should we still try to climb the tower, or is it too dangerous/cloudy?

Skip it. If it is raining, the tower will be enveloped in thick white fog and you will see absolutely zero view. More importantly, the narrow, exposed spiral stairs become incredibly slippery and dangerous when wet.

Thanks for the honest advice. We will skip it and do the Botanical Gardens!

I did it in light drizzle. It was terrifying and the wind almost blew my phone out of my hand. Wait for a clear day.

If you are stuck in Kandy in the rain, go visit the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens instead. The trees provide some canopy cover and the orchids are beautiful indoors.
