The climate of Thanjavur can be termed as a fairly healthy one like other coastal areas. November to February is the pleasant months in a year with climate full of warm days and cool nights. From March onwards, the climate rather becomes sultry and the mercury shoot-up and reaches its peak by the end of May and June depending upon the onset of summer rain. The conventional method of analyzing seasonal and annual rainfall pattern has been adopted to bring out the salient features of rainfall distribution of the study area.
