Morjim in May
Goa, India
Monsoon rains and humidity peak in May, making beach visits uncomfortable
May in Morjim is the last chapter before the southwest monsoon. Daytime 27-35C, humidity 80 percent, sea at 30C. Forest-department deadline closes all 25-odd Morjim-Ashvem-Mandrem shacks by midnight May 31. La Plage closes May 25 to early August. Pre-monsoon thunderstorms hit weeks three and four — 30-90 minute squalls, 2-4 hour grid power cuts. Sur La Mer at ₹13-17k from February's ₹38k peak; Mayfair On Sea at ₹12-15k; Marbela Beach at ₹5-6k. Anjuna Wednesday Flea Market down to under 100 stalls. Friday-Sunday weekend Mumbai-Pune occupancy at 50 percent on cheap-package traffic; weekday Morjim is nearly empty. The trip Morjim sells — turtle nesting, Russian-expat scene, La Plage dinners, calm beach — is winding down to nothing. Push to mid-October.
