The short answer
When to go to Kurnool
The best window is November to February, when days are dry and the heat has eased; December and January are the most comfortable, though mornings can feel cool on open grassland. March to May is hot, with April daytime highs around 40 degrees Celsius, so older travellers should avoid long outings in the afternoon. June to October brings the monsoon, with the heaviest rain from July to October, which slows rural roads but greens the landscape. Plan Rollapadu and Belum for the dry months.
