Wayanad is located in Kerala, more specifically at North Kerala. As it is a hill station where you witness heavy rains, June to July is not a good season to visit Wayanad. However, during many days in June and July it does not rain heavily. Wayanad is accessible from Mysore and it is only a few hours from Mysore. Mysore never witness heavy rain (except a few days it never rain continuously). When you visit Mysore you can enquire if there is heavy rain in Wayanad and if not so, you can consider visiting for a couple of days.
However, some of the Tourist spots may be closed for Tourists during heavy rainy season

By the end of August it is the better time to visit Wayanad. Still you may get rains in Wayanad during August. So you have to verify the weather report.

It is always recommended to stay closer to the Tourist spots you want to visit. Wayanad is the district name and it is a vast area. Not all tourist spots are located very close by. Hence, either you have to book a car (not really recommended) or you have to stay closer to the tourist spots you want to visit
