Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) in February
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Go in February—peak season delivers dry weather, calm seas for diving and snorkeling, and zero rain disruption to island-hopping plans.
Peak crowds
February is one of Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram)'s busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Island tourism peaks Dec–Mar when monsoon ends and seas are calm; Jun–Sep monsoon brings rough seas and minimal visitors.
February in Port Blair is the month seasoned Andaman regulars book first. Rainfall averages 15-25mm, the lowest of the year, and the Bay of Bengal is at its calmest. Daytime 24-30C, water 27C, humidity below 70 percent. Domestic flights from Chennai and Kolkata run at 90 percent capacity but ferry seats free up after the first week as January-holiday families head home. Chidiya Tappu sunset point is a 25km drive south - go Tuesday or Wednesday for an empty viewpoint. Auto fares Aberdeen Bazaar to airport: 250 rupees by meter, 400 if you do not insist. Carry small notes; change is genuinely scarce.
