Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the Meenakshi temple, 10 km from the airport (IXM): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

July: quiet. Busiest from November to January; quietest from May to July.

What to pack

  • Light, loose clothes: daily highs average 37°C.
  • Plan the middle of the day indoors: 25 days a month pass 35°C.
  • Sun protection: about 9 hours of sunshine a day.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
