November is Port Blair properly back in business. The northeast monsoon delivers some residual rain (50-80mm for the month) but as evening showers rather than sustained downpours. Air 23-30C, water 28C, dive visibility back to 25m at North Bay and the Havelock sites. Ferries run their full peak timetable. Diwali week (variable date, usually first half of November) brings a sharp 5-7 day spike: ferry seats sell out 10 days ahead and hotel rates jump 40 percent. Outside that window, the month runs smoothly. Cyclone watch remains active until late November - the last named storm of the season usually forms in the second week.
