Alright folks, put on your sun hats and grab your SPF because today we're heading over to glorious Goa!

Best month to visit Goa

Let's cut to the chase because I know you're eager to catch some waves. The best time to pack your bags and give Goa a warm (or rather, perfectly temperate) hello is between November and February. These months offer an ideal mix of luscious, quirkily green landscapes, and resplendent, crystal clear skies.

Now, if you're a penny pincher (and trust me, there's no shame in chasing a deal), the monsoon season stretching from June to September could be your go-to. Why, you ask? Well, it’s when you'll find the best deals on travel and accommodation. But bear in mind, while the rain-drenched landscape is a sight to behold, certain outdoor activities may be a no-go.

Worst time of year to visit Goa

Milliseconds in, and you're already wondering what time of the year you should avoid, aren't you? Yeah, I sense that. The summer months, from March to May, may not be the most enticing - unless you're a fan of the sauna life. It's hot, it's humid, and the beaches are crowded. Goa's charm takes a minor hit during this peak tourist influx.

Weather in Goa

Goa likens to a tropical monsoon climate. Summery weather? Check. Monsoon downpours for that life-brimming greenery? Double-check. Winters that offer a happy medium? Triple check!

I hear you thinking, "But, what's the temperature like throughout the year?" And fear not, dear reader, for I have just the answer for you. To give you more clarity, here's a temperature overview for the city:

MonthAverage Temperature (°C)Average Temperature (°F)

There you go, folks! A neat temperature breakdown just for you. But remember, no matter the temperature, the warmth you'll receive from the locals is year-round. Now, pack those bags and let's go-a to Goa!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
