Jaffna's long dry season and strong sun fade exterior colours faster than in the wet zone, while the northeast monsoon from December to February compresses the window for exterior work into a different part of the year than the rest of the island.
Plan exterior painting around the northeast monsoon, not the southwest one. In Jaffna the wet months are December to February, so the dry stretch that suits the rest of the country in January is not the right window here.

Frequently asked questions

Strong, sustained sun in the dry season breaks down pigments, particularly in deep and bright shades. UV-resistant exterior grades and lighter colours hold their appearance noticeably longer on exposed elevations.
