Long Island in April
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Peak humidity arrives as summer approaches, making midday exploration uncomfortable
Long Island in April is when the calm sea still holds but the heat starts hitting. Daytime 27-32C, humidity 81 percent, rainfall 70-100mm in evening squalls. The directorate of shipping ferry from Yerrata runs 3 weekly slots. Lalaji Bay reef visibility holds at 22-28 metres. The two homestays drop to year-low 1,000-1,500 rupees per night, but the basic cottages have fans only - no air conditioning - and afternoon heat traps in the rooms. Daily activity gets pushed to dawn and late afternoon: dinghy to Lalaji Bay at 6am, back by 10am, second swim at 4pm. BSNL signal at the jetty only. The Diglipur-side route via Aerial Bay is still active for stitched itineraries.
