Diglipur in July
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
July at Diglipur is the wettest month at the Andamans' wettest inhabited point. Rainfall touches 530-580mm, the southwest monsoon is at full strength, and the township is repeatedly cut off as NH-223 closes for landslides and washouts. The Saddle Peak trail is shut by the Forest Department. Ross & Smith dinghy services are suspended for the season. The ferry from Port Blair runs perhaps once every ten days. Power cuts run 6-8 hours daily; satellite phone is the only reliable contact for emergencies. Mobile network is non-existent beyond the township and unreliable even there. The medical evacuation logistics alone make July inadvisable.
