The climate of Kochi (India)
Kochi is better known as Cochin or Ernakulam nowadays. Kochi is the
official name that was given after the termination of the colonial
domination. It is a large seaport on the north-west coast of India
situated on the Arabian Gulf. Due to its situation on this Gulf the
town has become an important centre for industry and trade. In the
course of the centuries the town has received many new inhabitants
from afar through which it now has become a large cultural
melting-pot. Therefore all kinds of festival days of various religions
are exuberantly celebrated here. Whether it concerns the Sugarfestival
or Divali, Christmas or traditional Kerala festivals.
The climate in Kochi or Kochi is a monsoon climate. This climate is
characterized by a distinct dry and rainy period. Here most rain falls
in the months of May up to and including October. Due to its situation
close to the equator and on the sea there are few differences in
temperature. In the warm dry summer months the sea can mitigate the
heat agreeably.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
