What Kochi's climate means for your refrigeration
- Summer highs average 31.3 °C in March — moderate outdoors, but kitchens and shop fronts run hotter. A 43 °C ambient rating still gives useful headroom.
- Average humidity is 84% across the year, peaking near 89% in June. Expect condensation on glass doors and cabinet edges; heated or double-glazed glass and a well-drained defrost system matter here.
- Humid air is also hard on condenser coils and steel. Keep coils clean, check door gaskets often and choose stainless steel interiors that resist corrosion.
