The weather shouldnt be much of a bother Raghu. You will stay, eat and travel in air conditioned facilities.
Inside the temples, the air will be cool.

Hi

travelling may be problematic during rainy season in thanjavur area.
If you can bear sun during your outings ( from the comfort of a/c in car and room )
august is ok. Otherwise December and January is best to travel as the climate will be
pleasant. "padal petra sthalangal" enbavai thEvarathil idam petra thirukoyilgaL.
