With the setting in of March begins summer. The season is marked by the rising temperatures and moisture levels. Being a town of backwaters, it is no surprise that the rising temperature marks the humidity rise, thus making it one of the least favourable seasons for tourism. The temperatures vary between 25 degree Celsius to 37 degree Celsius with occasional showers towards the end of the season. However, this season is the best time for any tourist looking forward to cutting costs on accommodation (since summer is off-season).
Monsoons (June to September)

The Monsoon season begins from the first week of June and stretches up to the last week of September. Alleppey receives heavy rainfall during monsoons which could mar your travel plans especially if you are looking for a lot of activities. But this might just be the perfect place to be for a romantic vacation. The most important tourist activity of the region, a houseboat ride, along with other activities are occasionally hampered due to the heavy rainfall. However, this is when the famous Snake Boat Ride happens - an event which attracts tourists seeking off-beat experiences. This season also offers discounts and great deals offered by hotels looking to fill up their empty rooms.
Winters (October to February)
