Chennai Climate Gardening Guide

Chennai sits on the Coromandel coast and enjoys a hot, humid tropical climate for most of the year. The summer is long and intense, the monsoon arrives later than the rest of India (October to December), and winters are short and mild. Picking the right plant for the right season makes a huge difference in survival and bloom quality.

A few practical tips that work specifically in Chennai homes: water early morning or after sunset to reduce evaporation, mulch terrace pots in peak summer, and shift sun-sensitive indoor varieties slightly away from windows during April–May.
