Erode District DISTRICT PROFILE : Erode District Lies on the Extreme North of Tamil Nadu Weather and Crop Condition Report Erode District DISTRICT PROFILE : Erode District lies on the extreme north of Tamil Nadu. It is bounded mostly by Karnataka State and also River Palar covers pretty long distance. To the East lies Namakkal and Karur Districts. Dindugal District is its immediate neighbour to the South and on the West, it has Coimbatore and Nilgiri Districts, as its boundaries. Thus Erode District is essentially a land-locked area having no sea-cost of its own. Erode District situated at between 10 36” and 11 58” North Latitude and between 76 49” and 77 58” East Longitude. The region comprised in the district can be portrayed as a long undulating plain gently sloping towards the river Cauvery in the south-east. The two major tributaries of river Cauvery viz. Bhavani and Noyyal drain the long stretch of mountains in the north. A part of the eastern boundary of the district is formed by river Cauvery, entering the district from Salem and flowing in a southernly direction. DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP : Erode district is divided into two Revenue divisions Erode and Gobichettipalayam. There are 9 taluks and 375 Revenue villages. Erode Corporation is the only corporation in Erode district. There are four Municipalities namely Bhavani, Gobichettipalayam, Sathyamangalam and Punjai Pulliampatti.

The north western part of the district which includes Thalavadi, Sathyamangalam, Gobichettypalayam, Bhavani Sagar, Bhavani, Andhiyur, Ammapet blocks is flanked by southern slopes of eastern ghats. The district is bounded at the north by western ghats of which the Thimbam hills and Thalavadi ranges attain an elevation of 1200 metre. The north western part of the district is forest area and the elevation ranges from 600 to 1350 m. In the plains the elevation ranges from 150 to 300 m. southerly direction. A small patch of area almost plain and the elevation ranges from 100 to 150 m falls western side of Cauvery river. CLIMATE AND RAINFALL The district in general is characterised with a scanty rainfall and a dry climate. Maximum rainfall is recorded in Gobichettipalayam and Bhavani taluks. The Palghat gap in the Western Ghats, which has a soothing effect in the climate of Coimbatore District, does not render much help in bringing down the dry climate in this area. The cool-wind that gushes out of the west coast through Palghat gap looses its coolness and becomes dry by the time it crosses Coimbatore district and reaches Erode region Unlike Coimbatore which is blessed with a health-aiding climate, Erode District has dry weather throughout except during the monsoon season. Generally the first two months of the year are pleasant, but in March, Mercury gains an upward trend which persists till the end of May. Highest temperature is normally recorded during May. The scanty showers during this period do not provide any relief to the oppressive heat. There is a light improvement in the climate during June-August period. During this pre-monsoon period, the mercury reverses its trend and by September, the sky gets overcast heavily but the rains are meagre. North-east monsoon sets in vigorously only during October-November and by December, the rains disappear rendering the climate clear but pleasant. S.No Season Month Rainfall in mm 1.
