December and January might be chilly from dusk to dawn; although, don’t expect any cold winters here. Alleppey temperature starts rising by mid of December so winters are the best time to visit Marari Beach if you wanters to enjoy the waters. Expect occasional showers during this time of year. The weather is favourable for lounging on the beach all day, swimming or rafting. The temperature ranges between 17°C and 32°C during these months.

 

Summer (March to May) – 26-36 °C temperature in Marari

This time of year is hot and dry in Marari. Humidity is at its peak from March to May, and too much of the outdoors can leave you dehydrated. Temperatures hover around 35 °C. With Alleppey temperature reaching as high as 39°C, the summer season makes tourism a bit difficult unless you can manage heat well. Seasoned travellers might be up for the extreme weather, but travellers not used to the humid climates can find it extremely uncomfortable forcing them to stay indoors in their AC cottages, beating the entire point of holidaying at Marari. This is the time of summer vacations for schools in Kerala, so expect kids, though not too many of them, in the evenings.

 

 

Monsoons (June – October) – 22 – 30 °C in Marari

It doesn’t just rain in Kerala, it pours. From June to September, the monsoons and the slush that comes with it makes the beach seem less inviting. But the greens of the coconut trees that line the beach are more pronounced in this season, and the air has that fresh smell of rain meeting sand. However, the rains are torrential and may force you to stay indoors and keep you from swimming and water activities due to safety concerns. Nonetheless, this being the off-season most resorts offer huge discounts and the beach is practically deserted.
