Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) in June
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Monsoon shuts down ferries and water sports—plan for 3 months of heavy rain instead
June in Port Blair is when the archipelago closes for business in everything but name. The southwest monsoon delivers 400-500mm of rain across the month, often as 12-hour deluges. Inter-island ferry services suspend on rough-sea days, which by mid-June means most days. Phoenix Bay terminal runs a curtailed timetable and even those sailings get cancelled at short notice. Air temperatures stay mild at 25-29C but the rain and 90 percent humidity make walks unpleasant. Cellular Jail and the museums stay open but the broader trip - which is fundamentally about getting on a boat - does not work. The next clean window starts in October.
