Climate[edit]

The state has a tropical savanna climate, designated Aw under the Köppen climate classification.
The undulating topography leads to local variations, particularly in the hill ranges. [33] The four
main seasons are winter, from December to February; pre-monsoon or summer, from March to
April; monsoon, from May to September; and post-monsoon, from October to
November.[34] During the monsoon season, the south west monsoon brings heavy rains, which
cause frequent floods.[22]:4[31]:73 The average annual rainfall between 1995 and 2006 ranged from
1,979.6 to 2,745.9 mm (77.94 to 108.11 in).[35] During winter, temperatures range from 13 to
27 °C (55 to 81 °F), while in the summer they fall between 24 and 36 °C (75 and
97 °F).[34] According to a United Nations Development Programme report, the state lies in "very
high damage risk" zone from wind and cyclones. [36]
