The climate of Kurnool is tropical in nature and has an average elevation of 273 m. The city experiences three major seasons just like any other city in India. The summer season is hot and can get extremely hot and humid. The city receives heavy rainfall during the monsoon season and winters are pretty pleasant. Therefore, due to heatwaves in summers and high showers in monsoon, it is not recommended to plan any trip in these two seasons.
