Nestled near Point Pedro, the northern part of Jaffna Peninsula, Kankesanthurai faces the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean. Due to its location, Kankesanthurai has a tropical climate throughout the year with seasonal showers, making this place suitable for visiting any time of the year.
However, December to March is the best time to visit this quaint village as the average high temperatures touches not more than 31 degrees Celsius. Since this is also the peak season, prices hike up as well. The extremely warm months from April to May have temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius during the day and touching 26 degrees Celsius at night. If visitors don’t mind a bit of rain, then visiting during the months of September through November would be perfect.
