Go To Majestic India

To really understand and see the beauty of tropical rain, one must experience monsoon in Kerala. It is like to experience the beauty of a desert, one has to go through a sandstorm to really understand its magnificence.

The Monsoons in Kerala do not take the pattern of incessant rains continuing for weeks. Virtually it rains for a few hours with sunny interludes. Occasionally the rains might stretch on for a few days but the respite of sunshine is never far away.

There are several videos available on YouTube for monsoon. I picked this one to show you what monsoon looks like in Kerala:

The following is an excerpt from the analysis done by Pradeep on the Monsoon in Kerala:
South West Monsoon
The South West Monsoon begins either in the end of May or in the
beginning of June and fades out by September. Moving towards north, this
seems to gain intensity. During this period Peerumedu in Idukki and
Vaithiri-Kuttiyadi range in Malabar receive the highest rainfall. The
rainfall is comparatively low in the Lakshadweep islands. In the
southern areas the monsoon is around 40-50% and in the northern areas it
is around 80%.

North East Monsoon
The NorthEast Monsoon commences in October, dry weather setting in by
the end of December. The Kanjirappalli-Peerumedu range and Kuttiyadi
area experience the abundance of NorthEast Monsoon. The northern parts
of the state account for a mere 10% of the annual rainfall.
