We all feel a burst of excitement when a celebration or an event arrives earlier than usual. This year, the most loved natural phenomenon has triggered that same elation across the nation. Guess what? It’s the southwest monsoon season. As its name signifies, the monsoon has certainly come “soon” this year, which will be reaching Kerala by the 27th of May 2025 nearly five days before its regular schedule.

 Kerala Weather Forecast 2025

The phrase "God's Own Country" is a widely popular tagline tied to Kerala, and it is something that remains unforgettable among everyone. Best known for its stunning landscapes, lush greenery, serene backwaters, pristine beaches, and misty hills, the soul of Kerala’s beauty comes to life during the monsoon season. Kerala experiences two different monsoon seasons. The Southwest Monsoon, lasting from June to September, brings 80-90% of Kerala’s annual rainfall, whereas the Northeast Monsoon spanning from October to December, brings lighter and occasional showers in comparison. This year's monsoon season in Kerala is expected to be a burst of above-normal rainfall, especially in the districts of Ernakulam, Idukki, Pathanamthitta, Thrissur, and Kozhikode. This forecast has caused concern among certain residents whereas it has sparked curiosity among many as the forthcoming heavy rain is viewed as an abundant benefit for agriculture and water resources

Why Visit Kerala during Monsoon?

Although the ideal period to visit Kerala is during the post-monsoon and early summer seasons between October and March, when the weather is perfect for families and honeymooners to indulge in hill station getaways, sightseeing, houseboat cruises and beach explorations, the months from June to September steal the title of “the best time to visit Kerala,” offering a once-in-a-lifetime, priceless treasure for nature lovers, photographers, and for those who wants to experience Ayurvedic wellness retreat. The Southwest Monsoon in Kerala is more than just a weather phenomenon. As the monsoon approaches the rains sweep across the state, covering the landscape in a tapestry of lush greenery, creating a surreal, almost heavenly atmosphere. It is a period to experience peak natural beauty, renewal and rejuvenation infusing new life into the land and transforming ‘God’s Own Country’ into a ‘God’s Own Paradise.’

5 best reasons to visit Kerala during Monsoon

1.         Nature at its best –

Kerala has gained global recognition as one of the most picturesque destinations in India, known for its rich natural beauty. Now, imagine what if that existing beauty were taken to its peak? The results are, vast expanses of rich green hues glossy dense forests, misty hills, and plantations coming to life in a symphony of color. You will get to see Rivers swelling with fresh rainwater, waterfalls cascading thunderously and backwaters remaining crystal-clear like never before!

2.         Rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapies –

When you visit Kerala in-between June to September, the weather may sometimes allow you to enjoy outdoor exploration despite heavy or unpredictable rainfall. But your trip can be even more delightful especially when you enjoy the indoor experience by indulging in soothing Ayurvedic spa treatments. Did you know? According to Ayurveda, the monsoon season is regarded as an ideal time to undergo healing and detoxification therapies. The moist, cool climate enhances the skin's ability to absorb herbal oils and other medicines, making it the best season for rejuvenation. Kerala, renowned for its world-class Ayurvedic retreats, offers exceptional experiences in locations such as Palakkad, Kovalam, and Kumarakom.

3.         Fewer tourists & tranquil environments

Since it is an off-season in Kerala in June, There won’t be bustling crowds hindering you from experiencing the untamed natural beauty. You can dance in the rain, watch the storms twirl, venture into the wilderness and explore to the extreme, connecting only with nature. And the best part? You can enjoy your dream stay at Kerala’s top heritage resorts, forest lodges, and lakeside cottages at discounted rates.

4.         Nature at its Rawest-

Water and nature are inseparable; they epitomize the true meaning of natural beauty. Usually, the ideal period to visit popular waterbodies in Kerala is between September and November or from December to February, when the weather is mild, revealing the serene side of nature.  But if you visit in June, you'll witness the raw power of nature. During this month, rivers become oceans, backwaters become expansive reservoirs, beaches become giants and waterfalls like Athirappilly, Thusharagiri and Thommankuthu gush with roar and strength cascading from majestic heights with incredible force. While swimming may not be possible in any of those waterbodies it’s the ideal time to see nature in its full glory.

5.         Romantic & Photogenic Ambience - 

With its stunning landscapes, lush natural scenery, and breathtaking waterfalls, there’s no doubt that Kerala is a photographer’s paradise. There are countless opportunities to capture extreme beauty, especially during monsoons when photographers go to great lengths to get impeccable firsthand shots of nature in its most raw form. The “welcome” is not only for photographers but also for nature lovers and honeymooners during June. A honeymoon is not just about exploring multiple destinations or capturing endless pictures.

It’s about observing how beautiful and unique each location is. But if you are planning to have a monsoon photoshoot in Kerala, go for it—seriously! The pictures will come out so ethereal that it feels like you were snapped somewhere in a tropical fairy-tale, not just on Earth. With verdant landscapes, misty hills, breathtaking waterfalls, and serene backwaters, most scenic spots in Kerala like Munnar, Wayand, Alleppey and Varkala offer backdrops that seem to have fallen straight from heaven.

The monsoon is not just a shift in weather; rather, it's a season of rejuvenation. It renews Kerala’s ecosystems, nourishes agriculture, and paints the entire state with lush greens and misty hues. Many perceive this monsoon season simply as “Rain” but Kerala embraces it as a season of growth and gain. Because for nature this monsoon is a time of abundance; for farmers, a season full of promise; and for travelers, this period is an invitation to experience Kerala in its most enchanting form where nature surpasses everyone's imagination!
