Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep) in July
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
July at Ross Island is the worst month of the year. Rainfall hits 470-510mm, and the Aberdeen Jetty crossing is suspended on most days - even on rare clear days, small operator boats sit at the jetty because sea-state advisory boards are red. The light-and-sound show is dark for the season. Open ruins are unwalkable mud, and colonial paths under canopy turn slippery with biofilm. The deer move deep into the interior. The Cellular Jail in Port Blair stays open with its own evening show, which most travelers shift to in this month. The Ross half-day does not work in July. Wait for October.
