May will be hot and very humid and the closer to June you get the more rain showers you will get. A lot of the shacks will have closed. The sea will be very rough making it far to unsafe for swimming.

I noticed more was open in May down in Palolem, South Goa then the North.

Goa In May

thanks berkshire, last year went to thailand around the same time and altho very hot and humid it was still sunny and manageable, is goa on par with this or more extreme..?

if i go end of the year is september too soon? not sure when the peak season starts, but basically i would like to go just before it gets too busy and enjoy the peace but with the bars,shacks etc open and sunshine all day to enjoy!

I was in Goa from November 2007 through to September 2008 so tbh the heat was never unbearable to me as I had become accustomed to it, I didn%26#39;t even have a/c although my landlord offered to fit a unit!

Most days in May were sunny and it was only the last few days that the showers started to roll in but you can%26#39;t tell when it%26#39;ll happen. I%26#39;ve heard that Goa isn%26#39;t as bad as Thailand at this time of year though!

September things are very quiet and a lot more sun as it is the time the monsoon becomes just showers. I found it to be one of the best. It was peaceful, the sun come out between showers bringing out all the colours and you can see some cracking closing thunderstorms! So you will get sunshine but there%26#39;s no telling when %26amp; of course everything is very green and lush.

October/November are quiet months before it gets too busy and the weather will be more reliable than the preceeding 4 months!

What is it you want to do in Goa? Explore the churches and temples? Chill out on the beaches? Party all day %26amp; night? all of them or some of them?

I didn%26#39;t read the last part of your post. So in that case I%26#39;d say around October/November or April.

October is the hottest month in Goa, evenings as well.

am off there on the 8th may from lhr
