🌟 Best Season (Peak)
Cool, dry weather (20–30°C). Best beach weather, comfortable for sightseeing. Peak tourist season.
👍 Good Time (Shoulder Season)
Getting hot (30–38°C) but still dry. Fewer crowds and better hotel deals.
⚠️ Avoid If Possible
Monsoon season — heavy rains, rough seas, some beach activities shut down. But lush green landscapes and Ayurveda season in Kerala.
🗓️ Ernakulam Through the Year
Ernakulam's climate is hot and humid year-round, typical of coastal Kerala. The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rainfall and cooler temperatures. October to March offers the most pleasant weather, with sunny days and comfortable humidity levels.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
Onam, typically in August or September, sees vibrant celebrations with traditional dances and feasts across Ernakulam. The Cochin Carnival in late December is a major event, featuring parades, costumes, and various cultural performances.
What to pack
Pack light cotton clothing suitable for warm, humid weather. Include an umbrella or raincoat, especially if travelling during the monsoon. Don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and insect repellent.
Saving money
The off-season, from June to September during the monsoon, sees lower hotel rates, sometimes 20-30% cheaper. Look for deals on accommodations in Fort Kochi during this period, but be prepared for heavy rain.
