Andaman Islands in June
Not the best time
Monsoon season essentially shuts down the Andamans for tourism. June offers rock-bottom prices but you'll be stuck indoors watching endless rain.
Weather
June marks monsoon arrival with heavy rainfall and rough seas. Southwest monsoon brings consistent downpours and choppy waters that halt most water activities. Humidity stays uncomfortably high despite frequent rain.

All Months
November through April delivers perfect weather - sunny days, calm seas, and minimal rainfall. December and January see the most crowds and highest prices, but also the most reliable conditions. The water temperature stays around 28°C (82°F) year-round, so you're always comfortable swimming. February through April offers the sweet spot: great weather with fewer tourists and better hotel rates. May marks the beginning of monsoon season, when most water activities shut down and many resorts close. The islands essentially go into hibernation from May to September. October can be tricky - officially post-monsoon, but storms still pop up. If you're planning around specific activities, time it right. Turtle nesting season runs December to February at Kalipur Beach on Diglipur Island. Coral spawning happens in March and April, creating incredible underwater visibility. But here's the thing about weather in the tropics: it changes fast. Even in peak season, afternoon thunderstorms can roll in. Pack a light rain jacket and flexible plans.
