Jan 08, 2008 02:57 PM How Rain and Shine Affect Tourism in Kerala posted by Ashin
The  weather  in  Kerala  may  come  as  something  of  a  surprise  to  the  uninitiated.  The  season  you  choose  to  travel,  has  a  great  bearing  on  what  your  experiences  will  be  like.

The  Kerala  Weather:-
One  of  the  best  things  about  tourism  in  Kerala,  a  southern  state  of  India,  is  the  weather.  Unlike  countries  such  as  Australia  where  cold  winters  and  hot  summers  are  as  predictable  as  night  and  day,  Kerala  has  a  more  or  less  steady  temperature  that  hovers  in  the  vicinity  of  35  degrees  Celsius  almost  throughout  the  year.  Depending  on  where  youÂ’re  coming  from  this  can  feel  like  an  inferno  or  a  soothing  balmy  embrace.

Winter  in  Kerala:-
In  Kerala,  however,  thereÂ’s  no  escaping  the  humidity.  It  opens  pores  and  makes  you  sweat.  ItÂ’s  like  being  in  a  mild  sauna  all  day  long.  The  evenings  are  relatively  cool  and  in  the  winter  months  from  November  to  January  it  can  actually  feel  pretty  cool.  The  evening  temperatures  can  come  down  then  to  the  low  20s,  when  relaxing  with  a  glass  of  red  in  the  veranda  of  your  resort  seems  the  best  thing  to  do.  Winter  mornings  begin  with  a  misty  dawn  that  slowly  dissipates  in  the  face  of  the  rising  sun.  Droplets  fall  off  the  lush  greenery  as  the  earth  warms  up  gloriously.

Summer  in  Kerala:-
End  of  February  sees  a  rise  in  heat  that  continues  relentlessly  across  the  summer  months  of  March,  April,  and  May.  The  flowering  trees  along  highways  and  across  parks  will  be  in  full  bloom  presenting  marvellous  views.  The  greenery  and  thriving  blooms  that  you  see  from  the  air-conditioned  interiors  of  your  vehicle  or  hotel  room,  seem  incredibly  at  odds  with  the  intense  heat  outside.  To  escape  the  heat  and  dust,  most  folks  flee  to  the  beautiful  hill  stations  of  Kerala.  Just  when  you  think  you  canÂ’t  take  the  heat  anymore,  the  monsoon  season  hits  the  state.

Monsoon  in  Kerala:-
By  early  June,  the  skies  turn  almost  black.  Heavy  clouds  loom  in  ominous  silence  over  the  tree  tops  for  an  interminably  long  time  before  they  burst  forth  in  rain.  It  hits  the  earth  with  an  unbelievable  force,  almost  physically  beating  up  the  shrubs  and  washing  the  trees  clean  of  the  dusty  summer.  The  monsoon  season  in  Kerala  is  beginning  to  be  a  great  tourist  attraction.  It  is  a  wonderful  sight  to  see  the  rain  come  pouring  down  as  you  sit  in  the  safety  of  your  houseboat,  in  splendid  isolation  in  the  middle  of  a  lagoon.

Once  the  monsoon  is  over  and  done  with  by  the  end  of  August,  the  warm  weather  returns  with  a  vengeance  and  lingers  for  a  couple  of  months  till  late  November.  When  the  evenings  begin  to  get  cooler,  you  know  winterÂ’s  not  far  behind.
