Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the monsoons (July - September) 

Monsoons bring moderate rainfall most of the times, but the peak season could see heavy downpours. Andaman Tourism is not at its best during this season because the sea waves are unpredictable. Therefore, it is not advisable to visit the beaches or participate in water sports. The temperature ranges between 22°C and 36°C and the humidity is at its highest level. Although tourists do visit the islands during the season, especially in July and August, in case of heavy rainfall and unpredictable seas, water sports may not be an option. However, the annual festivals held during the season attract quite a crowd to the islands like the Music Festivals, Monsoon Festival held in August and the Food Festival held in September.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands in winter (October - March) 

Winters in the islands are quite mild, with temperatures ranging between 20*C and 30*C. Many tourists consider this the best time to visit Andaman and Nicobar, as the weather stays pleasant through the day. Every form of water sport and beach activity is enjoyable during this season, whether it’s swimming, sailing, diving or just sunbathing. Two great reasons why winter is the best time to visit Andaman, is the film festival held in November, and the 15-day Island Tourism Festival in January.
