Climate Overview
Kurnool, situated in the heart of Andhra Pradesh, experiences a tropical savanna climate, with the weather being predominantly hot and dry. The ideal time to visit this historical city is during the cooler months, specifically between October and March. During this period, the temperature is pleasant, varying from a comfortable 15°C to 30°C, making it perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. This is when the post-monsoon freshness still lingers, and the heat is not as intense, so travelers can explore Kurnool's rich heritage sites like the Kurnool Fort and the ancient caves of Belum without the discomfort of summer heat.
Seasonal Activities
For those looking to partake in local festivals and cultural events, visiting during October and November can be particularly rewarding as you can witness the grand celebration of festivals such as Dussehra and Deepavali. Furthermore, towards the end of December or in early January, the annual 'Car Festival' (Rathotsavam) at the Sri Ajaneyaswami temple draws crowds from all over, offering an intriguing spectacle for tourists. However, if wildlife and nature are more your interests, the cooler months are ideal for visiting the nearby Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can observe the varied species of birds and animals in more temperate weather conditions.
