    Best Time to Visit

    The best time to visit Goa is from November to March during the dry season. This is peak tourist season with perfect beach weather, sunny skies, and temperatures around 25-32°C. Avoid June-September when the monsoon brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making beaches unsafe. The shoulder seasons (October, April) offer good weather with fewer crowds.
