The temperature drops down to 24 degrees during the night, as the nights are comparatively cooler than days here. Andaman sees a huge crowd of tourists during this season, making this place lively and happening. One of the main reasons for the huge number of tourists here in these months can also be the 3-day long beach festival celebrated here every year in April.

Andaman In Monsoon (July - September)

July to September is the Monsoon Season in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. July is the month that marks the beginning of rain in Andaman, and September is the month marking the end of it. It is one of the two seasons experienced in Andaman. The temperature usually varies from 22 to 35 degrees Celsius during monsoons here. Andaman receives a huge amount of rainfall during monsoons. Some people can love these rainfalls and cannot be liked by others. If you wish to enjoy underwater sports, plan your trip to Andaman carefully, as one cannot enjoy any kind of water-related activities during the monsoon season here because of the unmanageable water levels and various risks. Activities such as Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Banana Boat Ride, Jet Skiing, Surfing, etc are suspended during the season. You won’t be able to participate in and enjoy outdoor activities, a major disadvantage of monsoons here. Rains also affect the transportation facilities in Andaman during these months.
