Seasonal Rhythm

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands enjoy a tropical, maritime climate throughout the year, moderated by the surrounding sea. Temperatures generally remain between 23°C and 30°C, with high humidity. The warmer months from March to May are sunny and humid, while the Southwest Monsoon from May to September brings frequent rainfall and rougher seas. A second period of rainfall can occur around October-November.

The best time to visit the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is October to May, with November to April particularly favourable for beaches, island-hopping, diving and snorkelling. The post-monsoon months bring refreshed greenery and improving sea conditions, while January to April generally offers especially favourable conditions for water-based experiences. The monsoon months are quieter but can bring disruptions to ferries and outdoor activities.
