The climate of Kerala (India)
Kerala is a federal state in India situated in the utmost tip of
India’s westcoast. Due to its geographical situation and the tropical
climate Kerala has an enormous biodiversity. There are a lot of
different initiatives to preserve that ecological diversity. The
splendid nature also attracts many tourists. The east of Kerala is
formed by a row of capricious mountains. From here it slowly flattens
up to the coast. These mountains naturally have an entirely different
climate than the flat areas on the coast. The average temperature on
these altitudes is a number of degrees lower. Due to the sheltered
situation the mountainous areas are less humid than the flatter
coastal areas. They are also less sensitive to hard wind and cyclones
in the summer. The coast has a humid tropical climate. It has a
monsoon period from June up to and including September. Due to its
situation close to the equator the temperature is high rather
constantly throughout the year.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
