Climatic Condition in Kerala - Kerala is environed by the water of the Arabian Sea and its more or less equable climate in Kerala owes a lot to its proximity to the sea. But this should not be the reason for your supposition that Kerala is devoid of any diversity in its climate. Infact it is the other way round. The noticeable heterogeneity in the geographical features of Kerala
has engendered a variety in the Kerala Climate.
There is a distinct disparity between the cool and energizing climate of the high ranges and the hot and humid climate of the plains. The annual range of temperature is quite low in Kerala. Higher temperatures are recorded in the interiors than the places that are near the coast. The average rainfall in Kerala is higher than quite a few other Indian states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Kerala Climate can be classified into four seasons of winter, summer, South West Monsoon and North East Monsoon.
Weather in Kerala :
Winter – The month of December marks the inception of the winter. The winter season lasts till the ends of February. The winter season in Kerala is marked by less rainfall especially in the northern parts of the state.
