How much of goa is shut down right now... and how bad is the rain?

pppddd · Jun 8th, 2007, 02:08

So I'm planning a trip to Goa next week. What is the rain situation like? It seems like the monsoons started, does that mean continuous rain or intemittent thunder storms? Is it possible to enjoy the beach around now?

How much of Goa is shut down? Is it going to be too dead to have fun? Are the good eating places going to be shut? And bars and night clubs?

Hi there
Had rain for the last week mostly drizzle four days but only for an hour, dry two days all day and rain one day all day but there has been a couple of days with no cloud that were ok for beach.Most of the tourist bars are now closed but still enough open to enjoy yourself never been here in monsoons before but have heard it's ok until july.
hope you have a good trip

Monsoon hasn't started yet. If you go to busier resorts there are still plenty of bars and restaurants open. Rains are due any day now.

So I take it your in Goa right now? I think im going to risk it and go ahead with the trip. I would really really like it not to rain, and to have somewhat happening surroundings, but a part of me thinks Goa in the rain is going to be a real sight, so maybe i don't have so much to lose.

Oh and which beach did you go to (if you even went) and how many people were around?

still a few people go to calangute beach mostly locals now but still some tourists around. The bad news is I just caught the news on tv today and it said monsoons are due to arrive in 3 days time.Its still nice and hot though 34c yesterday but would bring a mack just started raining as i type.
best of luck.

We had rain last night and more this morning. The sky is black out to sea so it looks like it's about here.

I will be in India in Mid-August. I think its the monsoom season.

Should I go to Goa? Or doesnt it make sence during that time?
