TAMIL NADU

A broad state sticks to the coast from the far east to the southern tip of India: Tamil Nadu. Over 70 million people live between the Indian Ocean and the mountain ranges of the Western Ghats and Nilgiri Mountains as well as in the capital Chennai. The state covers 130,058 square kilometres, i.e. it is roughly the size of Greece. The inhabitants are mainly Tamils and also speak Tamil – just like the community in the nearby northern part of Sri Lanka.

Tamil Nadu is tropically hot in the plains and moderate in the mountains. The weather is determined by the monsoon. This is heavier between September and December as it comes from the north-east, while the summer monsoon from July to September from the south-west rains down on the mountains. Little precipitation can be expected from January to June. Overall, it is not quite as wet as in Kerala.
