In June, the Andaman sky can go from bright to black in under an hour. Then the rain arrives sideways!
I would rather give you an honest answer than a flattering one. June sits in the heart of the southwest monsoon, and it is the most demanding month of the year for island travel. Ferries get cancelled. Water sports pause. Beaches turn grey and wild. But some travellers still choose this month, and with the right expectations they can have a calm, green, very quiet trip. This guide explains Andaman Weather in June, what it does to each part of your plan and how to decide whether it is for you. Weather varies from year to year, so treat every figure as a typical range and check forecasts closely.
The Honest Verdict
If your dream trip involves snorkelling, island hopping and sunset beaches, choose another month. October to May is far more suitable.
If you are happy with lush scenery, indoor sightseeing, spa days and flexible plans, June can work. It also costs less.

Andaman in June: Travel Tips, Weather & more
If you are still planning for June, here is what I recommend.
Stay Mostly in Port Blair
The main island has the most reliable infrastructure and indoor options. Relying on island hops is risky.
Choose Flexible Bookings
Book hotels with free cancellation and ferries with change options. Weather can change plans with little notice.
Buy Travel Insurance
Check that your policy covers weather delays and cancellations. Terms vary, so read the exclusions.
Keep Spare Days
Add at least two buffer days around flights. A cancelled ferry can leave you stuck.
Pack for Rain
Bring a sturdy rain jacket, quick-dry clothes, waterproof footwear, a dry bag and a waterproof phone pouch. Carry spare socks and a small towel.
Follow Official Advice
Check local weather updates daily, and ask your hotel about ferry and activity status each morning.
