Goa, India

Goa sits at a tropical latitude in India, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the January peak reaches a 97/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 31°C — a solid base for a sand-and-sea holiday.

The year runs from average lows of 21°C in July to highs of 33°C in April. Rain is most likely in July, when about 99% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in February (0%). The genuinely warm window — average highs of 24°C or better — covers January–December.

Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 32°C highs with 14% rain-day odds, summer 28°C at 97%, autumn 30°C at 53%, and winter 32°C at 3%. Winter wins on the numbers and summer loses them; everything in between is a trade-off between warmth and crowds. A practical compromise is December — the edge of the warm window, averaging 32°C with an 89 sun score.
