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.

Temperatures range between 23°C to 30°C, making it perfect for outdoor activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and island hopping.

2. Monsoon Season (May to October)

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.

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.
