Hi Irene,
Kerala is South India, hotter and more humid than North India. April and May are the hottest.
The interiors record a maximum of 370c during summer. In the coastal area it is hot and humid during April-May while cool during December-January.

Right now it's 32 degrees C or 90 degrees Fahrenheit (max). That's pretty hot. April will be hotter. I would find it unbearable but others have greater heat and humidity tolerance. Better hotels will be air-conditioned, but outside it will be a challenge.
Beaches obviously will be inviting though.

Buddhist sites mostly in North India. See
