Kumarakom has a moderate climate throughout the year; a balanced tropical climate.
In the olden days, when the bund separating the backwaters from the sea was not yet built, the water in the canals moved in and out with the sea tide and it was salty. After the Thanneermukkam bund was constructed, the connection to the open sea was not free anymore, and so the tidal movement ofthe water in the canals stopped. It stagnated and then plenty of water-hyacinths started growing densely in the canals, forming lovely greencarpets with pale lilac.
