=== Climate === The city has a climate that lies on the border between a [[tropical savanna climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Aw'') and a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am''). As a result, its only distinct seasons relate to rainfall rather than temperature. The mean maximum temperature is {{cvt|34|C|F}} and the mean minimum temperature is {{cvt|19|C|F}}. The humidity is high and rises to about 90% during the [[monsoon]] season.<ref name="Thiruvananthapuram Weather">{{cite web |publisher=Weatherbase |url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=017334&refer= |title=Thiruvananthapuram Climate |access-date=25 August 2006}}</ref> Thiruvananthapuram is the first city along the path of the [[south-west monsoon]]s and gets its first showers in early June. The city receives heavy rainfall of around {{cvt|1835|mm}} per year. The city also gets rain from the receding north-east monsoons which hit the city by October. The dry season sets in by December. The lowest temperature recorded in the city core was {{cvt|10.8|C|F}} on 6 January 1974 and the highest temperature was {{cvt|38.2|C|F}} on 21 February 2019.<ref name=IMDextremes/> At the airport, the lowest temperature recorded was {{cvt|12.1|C|F}} on 15 January 1975 and the highest temperature was {{cvt|36.3|C|F}} on 5 May 1998.<ref name=IMDextremes/> {{Weather box | location = Thiruvananthapuram
