Dhanushkodi experiences scorching summers from March to June, with temperatures reaching as high as 45 degrees Celsius. The region is dry and hot, making outdoor activities challenging. The hot, dry winds make it even more difficult to bear the extreme weather conditions. While the Ghats offer some relief, it's still advisable to stay indoors during the peak summer months.
