Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) in October
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
October in Port Blair is when the islands clearly turn the corner. Rainfall drops to 100-150mm, mostly in the first week, then most of the back half is dry. Air 24-30C, humidity 78-82 percent and falling. By October 15 the Directorate of Shipping Services is running its full Phoenix Bay timetable; by October 25 dive operators on Havelock are at full capacity. Bay of Bengal cyclone risk is real this month - one or two named systems typically form - but most miss the Andamans by skirting north toward Odisha. Hotel rates are still 30-40 percent below December peak. Cellular Jail evening shows resume their full schedule.
