The
state enjoys three main types of climates. For meteorological
purposes, the state has been divided into three sub-divisions
namely
Coastal Karnataka (Dakshina
Kannada and Uttara Kannada districts),
North Interior Karnataka
(Belgaum, Bidar, Bijapur, Dharwad, Gulbarga
and Raichur districts) and
3. South Interior Karnataka
(the remaining districts of Bangalore Rural,
Bangalore, Bellary, Chikmagalur, Chitradurga,
Kodagu, Hassan, Kolar, Mysore, Mandya, Shimoga
and Tumkur districts)
The Tropical Monsoon climate covers the entire coastal
belt and adjoining areas. The climate in this region
is hot with excessive rainfall during the monsoon
season i.e., June to September. The Southern half
of the State experiences hot, seasonally dry tropical
savana climate while most of the northern half experiences
hot, semi-arid, tropical steppe type of climate.
The climate of the State varies with the seasons.
The winter season from January to February is followed
by summer season from March to May. The period from
October to December forms the post-monsoon season.
The period from October to March, covering the post-monsoon
and winter seasons, is generally pleasant over the
entire State except during a few spells of rain associated
with north-east monsoon which affects the south-eastern
parts of the State during October to December.
The months April and May are hot, very dry and generally
uncomfortable. Weather tends to be oppressive during
June due to high humidity and temperature. The next
three months (July, August and September) are somewhat
comfortable due to reduced day temperature although
the humidities continue to be very high.
