The climate in Chennai is characterized by high temperatures year-round, peaking in June with an average maximum of 35.1°C. The wettest period is November, with over 330 mm of rainfall, while the driest and most temperate months are February and March.
The lowest flight cost was recorded in September, starting AED 381. During peak periods, such as April, ticket prices can rise to AED 779, so it is worth considering departures in late summer or early autumn to save money.
February is considered the optimal time for booking: it is an excellent compromise between comfortable dry weather and moderate ticket costs. We recommend avoiding travel in November due to the peak of the monsoon season and frequent heavy rains.
