Weather Travel Tips

  • Carry light cotton clothing and an umbrella or raincoat if visiting during the monsoon (June–October).
  • Book accommodations in advance for the dry season (November–February) as it's the peak tourist period.
  • Use strong insect repellent, especially during and after the rains, to protect against mosquitoes.
  • Stay hydrated and use sunscreen, as temperatures can exceed 33°C even in the dry season.
  • Check weather forecasts before heading to beaches or islands, as seas can be rough during the monsoon.
  • Pack quick-dry clothing and waterproof bags for electronics if traveling in the rainy months.
  • Plan indoor activities like visiting temples or museums during heavy downpours in July and August.
  • Taste local seafood but ensure it's freshly cooked, especially in humid months to avoid food spoilage.
