Many parts of this country tend to be particularly hot for a big part of the year. This December though, Colombo is experiencing wonderful weather. Temperatures dropped to an all-time low of 18 degrees. The cooling down of the country as a whole has been attributed to tropical cyclone Thane.
Despite the weather, there is a great outdoor and fitness culture in this country. The city's parks and seaside promenade are full of joggers in the mornings. You also see a lot of sports being played in the various clubs and grounds in the city. And this year, the country hosted a bicycle race called the Tour de Sri Lanka (of course!!)
Given the amount of rice that Sri Lankans eat, they sure do need the exercise. You see either super-fit people or those with bulging stomachs...There seems to be no room for the in-betweens.
