Climate

Nedumudi is part of the lower Kuttanadu. It experiences a moderate climate; however, in autumn, the Pamba river overflows, causing problems. This flooding makes the soil rich for agriculture, the main economic occupation in Nedumudi. However, in 2010, due to the unexpected climate change, the chance of another agricultural season is becoming impossible.^{[citation needed]}

The main celebration in the village is the annual festival of the Sree Bhagavathy temple, Kottaram. It is situated in Attuvathala. The festival is conducted by the four karas (sub divisions) of Nedumudi and the temple Devaswom.
