Most of Koraput District experiences the first arrival of monsoon where as the rest of the state take about ten days more for the same thrill. While the rest of Orissa gets rain due to monsoon from  the Bay of Bengal, the whole of Koraput derives it straight from the Arabian Sea through the Southwest direction. The whole of Koraput enjoys a generous rainfall and one hardly comes across a dry spell, acute shortage of food, or drought . Also the whole of Koraput, notably the 2000 and 3000 feet plateaus, remain cool round the year and can be treated as summer resort for those reeling under scorching heat elsewhere.
