Climate

The climate in general is dry and characterised by scanty rainfall. The maximum rainfall is recorded in Gobichettipalayam and Bhavani taluks. Unlike the health-aiding climate of nearby Coimbatore district, Kavundampalayam has dry weather throughout the year except during the monsoons. The Palghat Gap in the Western Ghats, which has a moderating effect on the climate of Coimbatore district, does not render much help in bringing down the dry climate in the area. The cool moist wind that gushes out of the west coast through the Palghat gap loses its coolness and becomes dry by the time it crosses Coimbatore district and reaches Kavundampalayam.

Generally the first two months of the year are pleasant, but in March the temperature begins to rise, which persists till the end of May. The highest temperatures are normally recorded during May. The scanty showers during this period do not provide much relief from the oppressive heat, however there is a slight improvement in the climate during the June–August period. During the pre-monsoon period, the temperature reverses its trend. By September the sky gets heavily overcast, although the rains are meagre. The northeast monsoon sets in vigorously only during October–November, and by December the rains disappear, rendering the climate clear but pleasant.

Economy

Kavundampalayam is well known for handloom, powerloom textile products and ready-made garments. Products such as cotton sarees, bed spreads, carpets, lungies, printed fabrics, towels, dhotis are marketed here in bulk. These products are exported to other states and countries.
