Best Time to Visit Chennai for the Temple Tour
- The ideal time to explore Chennai’s temples is between October and March, when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for outdoor exploration.

Avoid the scorching summer (April to June), with highs of 35°C–40°C, and the heavy monsoon season (July to September), which can bring humidity and rain. The winter months also coincide with festivals like Pongal and Arubathimoovar, adding vibrancy to your temple visits.
