Weather Conditions in Kovalam
Beaches, temples, the lighthouse and much more – a visit to Kovalam will be an exhilarating experience. Gone are the days when everyone used to take a summer vacation. The new trend is to take off to a place depending on the weather you like and prefer. Every place changes according to the weather. Monsoons bring back all the shades of green, whereas summers are for bright sunshine. For some, winter is spending the evenings with a bonfire and for others it is taking a stroll, enjoying the cool breeze. No matter what the place is, every season unfolds a different facet of the place. Let’s see how Kovalam mingles with every season and what is the best time to explore this coastal beauty.
The monsoon season commences with mild showers from June or July onwards. However, the winds get stronger later and the showers are usually accompanied by thunder storms. Throughout the season, Kovalam receives moderate to heavy rains. If you are visiting Kovalam to explore the beaches, then monsoons are not the best time. All the water sports also come to a halt during this season. However, if you want to explore the monuments, temples and the resorts, monsoons can be a good time to visit.
Winter season is synonymous to the festive season in Kovalam. If you want to explore the culture in its full-fledged form, then winter is the best time to visit Kovalam. Apart from the local festivals, beach carnivals and Christmas celebrations are the biggest highlights. As the weather is pleasant, there are many tourists coming in and so this might not be the best time to visit Kovalam if you want to spend some time by yourself.
The summers are typically tropical with moderately high temperatures combined with humidity. If you want to go sunbathing, then there’s no better season than this. It’s also great to enjoy boating at the lake and in the backwaters.
The best time to visit Kovalam is from September to March. In September the monsoon winds are almost leaving, hence the place is green and cool. From October to December is the peak winter season. Winters are mild and the temperature goes down to about 18 to 20 degree Celsius. After December and January, the climate starts getting a little warm but is bearable till the month of March.
