Little Adam's at 1pm is 37 feels 41 - turn around by 10 if we skip 6.28 for Ella
Not the 8-10am 32 km/h hat. Ella Saturday 1pm on the same 22.27 stamp is 37 degrees, feels like 41, then a 3pm 0.1 mm tease. If we skip 6.28 and day-trip the peak, is the rule actually "be off by 10" because the heat column is the mountain, not Kandy's noon 50 km/h gusts.

Ella Saturday 22:27: 12pm ~36C, 1pm 37C / feels 41, 2pm ~36, 3pm light rain 0.1 mm / 12%, gusts then climbing into the 40s late afternoon. Little Adam's is a short ridge, not Horton. I cannot swear 22 Aug official trail hours. The honest rule is start 8-ish, down before the 37C hour, not a 13:00 selfie. Carry water. East's warm-weather advisory is a different map.
If you cannot be on a ridge at 08:00 because you stood the 4th, skip the peak, not just 6:28. A wrecked 1pm climb is how people get stupid in 41 feels-like.
Scam Watch: kandy
TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
