Kosta Andhra · Eastern Coastal Plains

भूभाग और पारिस्थितिक अंचल

Tropical, humid and hot, with 900–1,100 mm falling mostly between June and September and a significant share arriving from the retreating monsoon in October and November. The temperature range is narrow and the humidity is not — 20–31 °C in January, 28–42 °C in May, with the delta's canal water raising the apparent temperature further. October and November are the dangerous months: this is a cyclone landfall coast with a long and specific casualty record, and the modern network of concrete cyclone shelters along it exists because of that record.

नदियाँ और जलाशय

Godavari — India's second-longest river, splitting below Dowleswaram; tradition names seven mouths, of which Gautami, Vasishta and Vainateya still carry water and the rest survive as names and dry channelsKrishna — reaching the sea past Machilipatnam, held at Vijayawada by the Prakasam BarragePenna — the Nellore river, seasonal and shallow, with its own small deltaBudameru and Tammileru — the streams that feed Kolleru and flood Vijayawada's outskirtsUpputeru — Kolleru's single outlet to the sea, and the reason the lake is fresh rather than brackish

मौसममहीनेसामान्यकैसा रहता है
WinterDecember–February20–31 °CThe pleasant months and the festival ones. Sankranti falls in mid-January and the delta fills with people who work elsewhere; Pulicat and Kolleru hold their migratory bird populations.
SummerMarch–June28–42 °CHot and wet-feeling. Avakaya is put down in May and June, when the pickling mango is right and the air is dry enough to keep the jar safe.
MonsoonJuly–September27–34 °CThe Godavari's first flood brings the pulasa upriver, which is the one week of the year when a fish commands prices that make the newspapers. Canal irrigation means the crop does not depend on the rain arriving on time, only on it arriving.
Post-monsoonOctober–November24–32 °CCyclone season, and the delta's most exposed period. Second-crop paddy is standing, the aquaculture ponds are full, and a surge reaches a long way inland across ground this flat.

घूमने का सबसे अच्छा समयDecember to February for the delta, the temples and the coast. Mid-January if the point is Sankranti, which is when Konaseema's Prabhala Teertham is held and when the region is at its fullest. Pushkaram years — the Godavari's next falls in 2027 — are extraordinary and impossible to move around in.
