They grow beautifully in any tropical climate that provides at least 25 inches of annual rainfall, up to 157 inches. Ambient humidity and abundance of rainfall are required during the warmest parts of the year when the sunlight intensity is strongest. Climates with warm, rainy winters and hot, humid, and rainy summers are ideal. Coconut palms will also grow in frost-free climates that are warm or hot and sometimes arid \u2014 cycles of tropical wet and dry seasons \u2014 if irrigation is provided at appropriate times.<\/p><p><strong>Ideal Climate Conditions<\/strong><br \/>Coconut palms prosper in a tropical region that receives 47 to 94 inches of rainfall a year, primarily from spring to late fall. In the winter dry season it should get no colder than 71 degrees Fahrenheit and in the summer rainy season no hotter than 93 degrees. An established coconut palm will tolerate temperatures down to 30 degrees, but if the growing tip on the top of the trunk is frozen, the palm dies. Arid and cold air prematurely dries out the coconut palm\u2019s fronds. Moisture is needed in summer for palm flowering and the development of fruits.<\/p><p><strong>Why Goa is ideal for Coconuts.<\/strong><br \/>Goa features a tropical monsoon climate under the K\u00f6ppen climate classification. Goa, being in the tropical zone and near the Arabian Sea, has a hot and humid climate for most of the year. The month of May is usually the hottest, seeing daytime temperatures of over 35 \u00b0C (95 \u00b0F) coupled with high humidity. The state\u2019s three seasons are the Southwest monsoon period (June \u2013 September), the post-monsoon period (October \u2013 January), and the fair-weather period (February \u2013 May).[26] Over 90% of the average annual rainfall (120 inches) is received during the monsoon season<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coconuts thrive in the Goan Tropical Climate Coconut palms tolerate some drought, but overall are moisture-loving plants that grow in sandy and loamy soils.
