The climate of Kerala is tropical like most parts of India. Due to close proximity to sea, the temperature of Kerala remains equable for most parts of the year. The state does not have a continuous dry spell and the summer lasts from April to June. Maximum temperature remains around 32 degree centigrade. Kerala receives most of the rain from Monsoons, which touch the state in June and remain there till September. Besides the South West Monsoons, Kerala also receives rain from the North Eastern Monsoons.

Winter season in Kerala begins from October and lasts till January. In winters, the temperature drops a bit but the weather is never too chilly in Kerala. In winters, the average temperature in Kerala remains around 21 degree centigrade. The presence of the Western Ghats on the eastern side of the state and across the path of the southwest monsoon creates an important climatic zone with abundant rainfall on the windward side and a dry belt on the leeward eastern side.
