Ten-year averages for this calendar month. 16 rainy days, as the weather station at Thiruvananthapuram (10 km away) counts them: its September average over 9 years, 2017–2026 (WMO 43371). A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain.

Weather read at Kovalam Beach, 11 km from the airport (TRV): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.
