By month
All 3 of the atlas's destinations in Sri Lanka are in season in May.
The recorded main wind is the monsoon at 2 and a trade wind at 1. The highest modelled share of windy days in May is 76% at Kalpitiya; the share is known for 1 of the 3. 2 of them have a spot that takes beginners.
Showing all 3 destinations.
modelled windy
The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts May at half its days or more with three or more hours over 12 knots. That share is enough on its own: a spot here may or may not also name May among its best months.
riders' months
A spot names May among its best months while the model reads under half. Both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.
no series
No spot at the destination carries a usable modelled series, so the months are the ones riders and schools name.
1 destinations
A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of May days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming May among its best months.
