Experienced one of those second-round monsoons in Kerala in late September - some days were fine but others were wild and stormy with lots of power cuts too. Woke up one morning with the floor under about an inch of water - had to move rooms because the ceiling was caving in. Enjoyed myself anyway. Tamil Nadu was dry though. Holi (the paint throwing fest) was last month. Dussehra is around October and Diwali is after that.
