It is also the perfect time for indulging in beach activities like sunbathing, swimming and surfing.

Kanyakumari in Summers (April to June)

Kanyakumari experiences moderate weather during summers, with temperatures ranging from 22 degrees to 35 degrees Celcius. During this period the weather is humid; however, the climatic conditions are apt for visiting the various attractions of the place including Vivekananda Rock, Vattakottai Fort and Gandhi Museum. Apart from this, the various beach activities are open throughout summer, so tourists can indulge in outdoor visits, sea bathing and surfing. Although early summers are an ideal time to visit Kanyakumari, the month of April gets considerably hot which is why this month is not preferred for travel. However, the place gets vacant with less crowd and cheaper accomodation - a perfect time for budget travellers.

Kanyakumari in Monsoons (July to September)

Monsoons in Kanyakumari starts in June which helps in tremendously lowering the temperature. However, the level of humidity keeps rising making it difficult to travel around. If you're a pluviophile, then the month of August is best recommended as the atmosphere is pleasant with a slight drizzle that enhances the beauty of this coast. Apart from its humidity, this is a good time to visit during monsoons. The frequent showers put a hold on sightseeing which affects the footfall in Kanyakumari in September; however, the Cape Festival takes place in October, and by this time tourists from around India visit Kanyakumari.
