Unlike nearby Coimbatore District, Erode District's climate is characterized by dry weather throughout the year, except during the monsoons, when it receives high rainfall.
The cool, moist wind that passes through the Palghat Gap in the Western Ghats has a moderating effect on the climate of neighbouring Coimbatore district, but the air loses its coolness and becomes dry by the time it reaches Erode.

Generally, the first two months of the year are pleasant, but in March the temperature begins to rise, which persists until the end of May, when the highest temperatures are normally recorded.
The few rain showers during this period do not provide much relief from the heat.
However, the temperature reverses its rising trend during the pre-monsoon period, between June and August.
By September, the monsoon rains begin to fall.
The northeast monsoon sets in vigorously during October–November.
By December, the rains end, returning the climate to its dry and cold state.
