Being situated very close to the sea, Cochin has
a moderate climate. Heavy  showers are
experienced during the months of June, July and August due to
the south-west monsoon. The north-east monsoon brings light
rainfall during the months of September to December.
December to February is pretty cool. An all time tourist
favourite, Kochi or Cochin is the commercial capital of Kerala.
It has to offer palaces, forts, beaches, backwaters, old
churches, snakes boat races, Kathakali Dances, museums and
the convenience of a big city. Kochi is just about the center of
Kerala. It is basically a collection of islands and narrow
peninsulas. Ernakulam is the commercial center and forms
the mainland. The two main railway stations and the bus
stands are located here. Fort Kochi Mattachery, form an
elongated island west of Ernakulam. Willingdon
island which houses the Airport, Port & Naval base lies
between Ernakulam & Fort Kochi. Jos junction in
Ernakulam is considered as the nerve center of the city.
