Long Island in August
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Long Island in August is July with marginally less rain and the same broken access. Rainfall settles at 440-490mm, the directorate of shipping ferry from Yerrata is mostly suspended through the month - perhaps 1-2 sailings if a weather window opens. Both homestays remain shut for the season; staff have moved to mainland family stays. The Lalaji Bay dinghy hop is off, reef-break visibility under 5 metres. The Diglipur-side route via Aerial Bay also runs unreliably. There is no functional traveler infrastructure on the island. BSNL signal is weak even at the jetty in storm weather. Wait for November - the homestays plan reopening dates for November 1-5.
