June in Dhanushkodi is the first easing month of the heat dome and the start of the wet season. Southwest monsoon spillover delivers 60-80mm rainfall across 8-10 wet days, mostly late-afternoon thunderstorms. Daytime 32-34C, nights 27-28C, humidity 80 percent, Bay trade winds return to standard pattern. The 8km Arichalmunai-tip sand track starts wetting up — the 4WD-jeep service runs conditional go/no-go through the month, with the operators at the Arichalmunai aggregator desk calling each morning based on overnight rainfall. The Kothandaramaswamy Temple at the halfway mark stays accessible. The ghost-town ruins at the tip walkable on dry mornings — but visitor load is the lowest of the dry quarter. The wave-collision point at the absolute tip visible on clear days; sea state climbing through the month. Adam's Bridge horizon line obscured by spray on windy days. Stay in Rameswaram — Daiwik Hotels ₹2,000-3,500, Hyatt Place ₹3-4,500, beach homestays ₹700-1,200. The Bay-storm season starts mid-July; the next four months will see frequent track closures. October opens the proper return window after the Bay calms.
