Usually the climatic conditions of Goa are temperate, except during the monsoon, which lasts from June to September. Thanks to the coastal Konkan region and the backdrop of Western Ghats, the weather of Goa is pleasant and sunny. There are no extremes in temperature
and no clear demarcations from one season to the other, except for the monsoons.
The average temperature varies between 23°C - 32°C. The average rainfall is approximately 250cms, the average daily hours of sunshine is
nine to ten hours in summer and three to five hours during the monsoon.
Monsoon The main feature of the Goan climate is the monsoon, which occurs between June and the end of September. Goa is in the path of the southwest monsoon, thereby experiencing a dry period lasting six to eight months of the year, followed by the annual rainfall, which occurs over the remaining four months. During the two months
preceding the onset of the monsoon the humidity increases dramatically, and the normally clear skies become hazy and then cloudy. During the monsoon, 200cm to 250cm of rain is normal,
although in the Western Ghats the downpour is considerably higher than on the coast.
Once the monsoon has run its course the skies clear up and the weather becomes pleasant. For four to five months from October through February the climate is near perfect-cloudless blue
skies, warm but not oppressively hot days, and calm seas. By mid-March the humidity starts to rise as the monsoon begins to approach again.
