What you gain in November

  • NE monsoon arrives: seas calm, visibility improving week by week to 20–25m by month end
  • Prices still 20–25% below peak dry season — good value for genuine dry season quality
  • Resort demand picking up: good availability without the peak-season competition

What you sacrifice

  • 143mm of rain: still meaningful rainfall in early November before dry season fully establishes
  • Some weeks of mixed conditions as the monsoon transition plays out
  • Prices climbing as demand returns for the Christmas season ahead
