Weather in Andaman:
What to Expect Year-Round
The Andaman Islands, with their tropical climate, are a year-round destination for travelers seeking sun, sand, and adventure.
The weather here is influenced by the monsoon winds, resulting in two distinct seasons: the dry season and the monsoon season.
Here’s what you can expect throughout the year.
1. Dry Season (November to April)
The dry season is the best time to visit Andaman, with clear skies, gentle breezes, and calm seas. Temperatures range between 23°C to 30°C, making it perfect for outdoor activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and island hopping. Sunsets during this time are spectacular, and the overall weather is ideal for exploring the islands.
2. Monsoon Season (May to October)
During the monsoon season, Andaman experiences heavy rainfall, with the peak occurring between June and September. The temperatures remain warm, typically between 25°C to 29°C, but frequent showers and rough seas can disrupt travel plans. However, the monsoon brings a different kind of beauty to the islands, with lush greenery and quieter beaches, offering a more serene experience for those who enjoy the rain.
3. Best Time to Visit
For most travelers, the dry season (November to April) is the preferred time to visit Andaman, especially if you plan to engage in water sports or explore multiple islands. However, if you prefer fewer crowds and don’t mind the rain, the monsoon season offers a unique, tranquil experience.
4. Tips for Travelers
- Dry Season: Pack light cotton clothing, sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. Don’t forget your swimwear and snorkeling gear!
- Monsoon Season: Carry rain gear, waterproof bags, and insect repellent. Some outdoor activities may be restricted, so plan for indoor activities or enjoy the quieter, scenic views.
No matter when you visit, the Andaman Islands promise a memorable experience with their diverse weather patterns, stunning landscapes, and rich marine life.
