Sri Lanka's two primary monsoons—the southwest monsoon from May to September and the northeast monsoon from December to February—play a significant role in the country's hydrological patterns. Additionally, the inter-monsoon periods (March-April and October-November) bring rainfall across the island.
Given this seasonal rainfall pattern, the upcoming months are likely to boost the country’s hydroelectric generation capacity, as increased water availability in reservoirs can enhance the output of hydroelectric power plants. This would allow Sri Lanka to capitalize on its renewable energy potential and reduce reliance on other energy sources, especially during the wet seasons.
