SEASONS AND FESTIVALS
Seasons
Goa has a pleasant weather during October, November, December, January and February and most of March. Its neither too hot nor too cold. Summer sets in from end March and goes on till June. It is mostly the afternoons that are hot, evenings and nights are breezy due to the sea but it is not very humid unlike the rest of coastal India. June to September, rains in Goa is not something that not many people know about. The rain Gods really get happy here, the sea is out of bounds for all except fishermen with advanced boats, but it is green. Beautiful and eye soothing green.Extremely romantic.
