Accepted practical take for Jaffna: Match Jaffna to season first: west/south dry windows skew Dec–Mar; east often better May–Sep. Wrong-month rain changes pharmacy hospital backup more than hotel stars. Specifically on pharmacy hospital backup, confirm opening hours and whether you need a guide or ticket-desk cash.
