Best time to visit Alappuzha
India · 20-year averages
January is the best month in Alappuzha, scoring 83 out of 100, with April the weakest at 48. The 35-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 2 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.
March is the warmest month at 31.6 °C and August the coolest at 27.5 °C — a 4.1 °C spread across the year. 125 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.
There is a real wet season here. June, July, August and October carry the rain — up to 28 wet days in a month — while January, February and December drop as low as 2. That 26-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Alappuzha, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea never drops below 27.2 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.7 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.
The three strongest months are January, December, February. The one to think twice about is April. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
