May and June are the hottest months, with highs often around 37–40 °C and very high humidity. Sea breezes in the evening give some relief near the coast.

🌧️

The southwest monsoon brings only occasional showers from June to September. The main rainy season is the northeast monsoon, typically from October to December, with November usually the wettest month. Cyclones from the Bay of Bengal can bring very heavy rain in this period.

December to February is the most pleasant time, with highs around 29–30 °C and lower humidity.
