Climate
Somayanur has a pleasant, salubrious climate due to its proximity to thickly forested mountain ranges and the cool breeze blowing through the Palghat gap during the monsoon seasons. This village has mild winters and moderate summers. The mean maximum and minimum temperatures during summer and winter varies between 35°C to 18°C.
Due to the presence of the mountain pass, major parts of the coimbatore district benefit from the south-west monsoon in the months from June to August. After a warm, humid September, the regular monsoon starts from October lasting till early November. These monsoons are brought about by the retreating North-eastern monsoon. The average annual rainfall is around 700 mm with the North East and the South West monsoons contributing to 47% and 28% respectively to the total rainfall.
