Summer (March - May)

The summer season begins in the month of March and goes on until May. The day-time temperature hovers around 38°C and can reach a staggering 40°C during the peak afternoon. The mercury level drops in the evenings but still remains around 29°C which might not be comfortable for some. The coasts get extremely humid, making it a sweaty affair for the beach lovers.

Summers, therefore, are not always recommended to travelers planning to explore Kerala. There is a plus side though. The rates really slash down and wouldn’t pinch one’s pockets to travel to a different country and explore the rich culture of the state.

However during summer, tourists can catch the traditional festivals. The Painkuni Festival is celebrated in the month of March/ April. It is dedicated to Lord Padmanabha. Ambalapuzha Arattu is also celebrated in the same month. One can witness the celebrations of Vishu, a festival that marks the beginning of New Year in Kerala. It is celebrated in April/ May. Easter, Kanathurkava Uthsavam, Thrissur Pooram and Lokanarkavu Uthsavam are some more festivals celebrated in April. So even if the temperature soars, there will be something interesting to see and experience.

Monsoon (June - August)

June to August (sometimes till mid-September) is the season of monsoon in Kerala. Most regions of the state receive heavy rainfall, and the levels of humidity are at its peak. It gets an average annual rainfall of over 3000 mm, and the temperature hovers between 29°C and 35°C and the humidity is between 65 to 73%.

Monsoons, therefore, is not quite the best time to explore. Some, however, do wish to visit the state for traditional Ayurvedic treatments that Kerala is famous for. They can stay for a few weeks or months at one of the several nature resorts Kerala houses, but the torrential downpour won’t allow tourists to explore much of the state. The terrain gets covered with dense vegetation, and there’s only nature to accompany the one searching for some solace.

During this season, one may also witness the festivals of Ramadan, Eid-Ul-Fitr Kalampattu Festival, Feast of Our Lady of Snow, Feast of Martashmooni Amma, Pongal which are some of the festivals celebrated in July/ August.
