What it's actually like to live in Tamil Nadu — the weather through the year, healthcare, and the practical essentials.
Tropical with two monsoons — southwest in summer, northeast in winter.
Tamil Nadu uniquely receives two monsoons: the southwest (June-September) brings moderate rainfall, while the northeast (October-December) is the major rainy season. Coastal areas experience hot, humid summers (28-38°C). The Nilgiris (Ooty, Kodaikanal) maintain cool 10-22°C year-round.
