What to expectNāgercoil through the year

Nāgercoil changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 31 and 33 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Rain is strongly seasonal. November averages 203 mm against 14 mm in January — 15 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.

The sea off Nāgercoil is warmest in April at 30 °C and coldest in July at 26 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
