Goa Seasons
The Goa season begins as the monsoon dries up around the end of October. This
is a beautiful time to be in Goa as everything is green and luscious. The
plants are so overgrown it can be hard to find your way sometimes and theres
still the occasional roll of thunder in the air.
Things remain pretty low key until December when freaks begin rolling in for
real in search of some party action. Whatever the party situation that year the
New Years parties always happen as this is when everyone cashes in big time.
They are, on the whole, ghastly spectacles where every drunk Indian tourist,
dizzy backpacker, acid casualty, crippled beggar, corrupt cop and thief within
500 miles congregates. The roads are packed with motorbikes and no one gets any
sleep for a few nights. Many choose to take a holiday for a week or so at this
time of year.
Into January the nights grow a little cold and its good to have a sweater
with you when driving at night. The winds pick up in February and the best part
of the season begins. The tourists have mostly gone home and the travellers
that are left are mostly those who have a real love of Goa and understand all
that the freak scene stands for.
By March everything is burning up and all the bush has turned a dark, crispy
brown. The locals burn the straw on the dry rice paddies and now is when all
the seasons acid casualties begin to surface, wandering around mumbling their
strange monologues.
By April the sea is like bathwater and its too hot to move. Everyone is
trying to leave as fast as possible either back to the West or up to the
mountains for the summer. The heat of May is even worse and is further
aggravated by the thousands of Indians who arrive to take their holidays. They
run along the beach drunk and go swimming for the first time and for a few, the
last time in their lives. A handful drown each year.
Have A Nice Day
