Goa is a small state in India, which is one of the ideal resorts in the world. Especially if you look at the climate of Goa. The weather here is milder and smoother over the months compared to other states. In Goa, temperature differences are negligible.
The period from December to January is considered the coolest here, the temperature ranges from +19 0С to +30 0С. May-June is considered a hot time, the temperature reaches +30…+34 0С. But due to the low humidity, this heat is tolerated comfortably. The remaining states of the country have a smoother monsoon period, as a result of which the temperature there has a greater contrast and there is less rainfall.
What determines the weather in Goa?
Most of India is located in the subequatorial belt. Because of this, the weather in the country depends mostly on the monsoons. It rains from the Indian Ocean in summer. They move to the northwest, gaining strength and power along the way. In June, you can watch thunderstorms that flood everything around. But closer to autumn, the weather changes. Then the rains from the northeast are replaced by coolness, but without clouds.
Consider South Goa. The monthly weather there is divided into three seasons (by the way, this also applies to the North coast):
- The period from late autumn to the end of winter. Mostly bright sun, clear skies, cool air.
- The period from spring to early summer. The temperature rises, accompanied by hot dryness. Nevertheless, during this period it is very comfortable here: there is no stuffiness, the water is warm, the weather is comfortable. Perfect beach holiday.
- The period from the end of June to mid-September. Humidity rises, which brings rain along with high temperatures. In other words, at this time it is very hot, sometimes it becomes overcast, it rains heavily.
October, perhaps, can be singled out separately. It is transitional: the rains have subsided, but the humidity is still very high in Goa. The weather by month is discussed below.
