Weather in Goa. Monthly weather

Goa is a small state in India, which is one of the ideal resorts in the world. Especially when you look at the climate of Goa. Monthly weather is milder and smoother than the rest of the states. In Goa, temperature differences are insignificant.

The period from December to January is considered the coolest, the temperature ranges from +19 ⁰ C to +30 ⁰ C. May-June is considered the hottest time, the temperature reaches + 30 … + 34 ⁰ C. But due to the low humidity, this heat is transferred comfortably. The remaining states of the country have a more smooth monsoon period, as a result of which the temperature there has a greater contrast and there is less rainfall.

What determines the weather in Goa?

Most of India is located in the subequatorial belt. Because of this, the weather in the country depends mostly on the monsoon. In the summer, it rains from the Indian Ocean. They move northwest, gaining strength and power along the way. In June, thunderstorms can be observed that flood everything around. But closer to the fall, the weather is changing. Then the rains from the northeast are replaced by coolness, however, without clouds.

Consider South Goa. Monthly weather is divided into three seasons there (by the way, this also applies to the North coast):

- The period from late autumn to the end of winter. Mostly bright sun, clear sky, cool air.

- The period from spring to early summer. The temperature rises, accompanied by hot dryness. Nevertheless, during this period it is very comfortable here: there is no stuffiness, the water is warm, the weather is comfortable. Perfect beach vacation.

- The period from late June to mid-September. Humidity increases, which entails rains at the same time as high temperature. In other words, it is very hot at this time, it periodically becomes cloudy, and it rains heavily.

Perhaps October can be singled out separately. It is transient: the rains are gone, but the humidity is still very high in Goa. Monthly weather is discussed below.

Weather in Goa in winter

In December, humidity is 65%, rains stop (only 1-2 times a month). The water temperature is perfect for swimming: +28 ⁰ С. The average daily temperature is + 30 … + 32 ⁰ С, at night +24 ⁰ С. The wind is almost not felt. The days are clear.

At the beginning of the year (January), a tropical climate is clearly visible. In the daytime, the temperature is about +30 C, in the morning and evening it drops to +19 ⁰ C. Rest in winter is considered very comfortable, as precipitation is very unlikely, humidity is low (about 60%), light wind, clear sky, optimal pressure. The main thing is a very pleasant water temperature: +27 ⁰ С. In addition, in winter the longest daylight hours are observed: 10 hours.

February can meet 26 ⁰ C at night and 30 ⁰ C during the day. It is considered the driest month with little rainfall. Humidity rises (up to 70%). Otherwise, the weather is similar to January, with one exception - light rains are encouraging to refresh, and the sea calls for its warmth and tranquility.

In March, the temperature in the daytime keeps around +32 ⁰ С, at night - + 29 ⁰ С. Dry air has been holding since February, precipitation is also unlikely (1.1 mm). The wind is also small and warm, the days are mostly cloudless, their duration is 10 hours. The water does not cool as much as it warms up to +31 ⁰ С. In this regard, March is a less comfortable month compared to the previous ones, and the air temperature rises very well.

In April, the wind rises and can reach up to 8 km / h, but this is nice, as it allows you to freshen up a bit on a sultry day. More and more clouds appear in the sky. In April, the season ends.

May is considered the hottest month in Goa. The air warms up to +33 ⁰ С, the night one decreases to +27 ⁰ С. The humidity rises to 75%, the amount of precipitation increases.

By the end of May, the number of rains is increasing, because in the summer the rainy season begins. By the way, in May Goa is not advised to go to those who are acutely aware of pressure drops or who have problems with the cardiovascular system.

Holidays in Goa in the summer

June is considered a hot and humid month. In the afternoon the air temperature warms up to at least +31 ⁰ С, night temperature: + 24 … + 25 ⁰ С. This is the beginning of the rainy season, so most of the month it rains with wind increasing up to 11 km / h. The sea cools down to +29 ⁰ С, but due to strong winds a storm rises, so swimming is unlikely to succeed.

The weather for a beach holiday is not very comfortable, but a bonus to a trip to Goa in June will be significant discounts and the ability to take incredibly beautiful photos against the backdrop of a raging sea.

July is usually met with hot and humid air. Despite the fact that there are fewer sunny days in July, the air temperature will not decrease from this: +29 ⁰ C during the day and +23 ⁰ C at night.

Goa Season

If you want to enjoy the perfect weather for a beach holiday, feel free to go on vacation in Goa from October to May, when the season opens there.

The peak falls between the end of winter and March. Only then can you enjoy low humidity, clear skies, a comfortable temperature of + 27 … + 30 ⁰ C. You can also observe a constant little breeze and a warm sea.

However, it is worth remembering that it is still winter, therefore there are more brown and yellow tones in the vegetation, in places there is dry grass, often burned at this time of the year. Yellowing palms stand out as well.

Many travelers note that Goa is very beautiful from September to October, that is, immediately after the rainy season.
