How about a trip to Goa

Goa

SummaryA Brief Summary

Is there a better way to end the year than enjoying some amazing traditional Indian cuisine, on a glorious wide stretch of pale sand, overlooking the Indian Ocean? If so, it can’t be much better than enjoying December in Goa. The land still verdant green from the recent retreat of the annual monsoon rains, but near-endless sunshine from deep blue skies above, make this a perfect time to get your final dose of warm sunshine before the New Year beckons.

WeatherAbout the Weather

The Indian monsoon affects Mumbai and westernmost India like no other place in the country. The city, on the Arabian Sea, feels the full force of the monsoon as it makes landfall and tracks across India. Rainfall from November to May is virtually non-existent, making the land bone dry and desert-like. Sunshine levels are high throughout the dry season, averaging close to 10 hours a day in some months, with low humidity and temperatures of 31-33°c and regular sea breezes. June often sees the dramatic darkening of the skies and the onset of the rains, with sunshine reducing from 9 hours a day in May to less than 5 hours a day until October. July is the peak of the rains and a time of year when Mumbai becomes the wettest low-lying city in the world. Flooding here during July is all-but guaranteed with many parts of the city under several feet of water at times. On 26th July 2005 the city saw in excess of 37 inches of rain.. the equivalent amount of rain London would ordinarily see in 15 months! The rains continue until late September or early October, but once they begin easing, they end rapidly. Humidity during the rains is often above 90% and with temperatures averaging 30°c, the city feels oppressively muggy.
