Kerala's winter this year: What to expect
Kerala is heading into a pretty typical December winter this year.
Coastal spots like Cochin will be warm—think highs around 31°C and lows near 22°C—while hill stations such as Munnar will actually feel chilly, with temperatures dipping to about 13.8°C at night.
The real wintery feel is expected to pick up in the second half of the month.
Why does it matter?
December brings about seven hours of sunshine daily, just a couple days of rain, and plenty of humidity—so don't pack away those summer clothes yet if you're on the coast.
For folks in higher areas, it's finally sweater weather.
But here's something to watch: northeast monsoon rainfall is already 21% below normal as of December 1—a deficit that, in general, can impact farming and water supplies if it persists.
