Best Time To Visit Andhra Pradesh

Avoid the monsoons between July and October if you are planning to visit the coast. The Andhra coast off the Bay of Bengal is prone to cyclonic disturbances in October-November. The inland areas on the plateau are drier and cooler than the coast, and maximum temperatures average at 33° C in the summer and 22° C in the winter. If you're planning to tour the state, the best time to visit is between October and April. Cultural festivals like the Visakha Utsav (Visakhapatnam) and the Deccan Festival (Hyderabad) are in January and February. The festival of Samkranti celebrates the harvest with great enthusiasm every January. The 1st of November marks the formation of Andhra Pradesh in 1956 and is a statewide holiday. Business travellers might be interested in catching the industrial exhibition in Jan-Feb held in Hyderabad.
