There are, however, two seasons which are the rainy season (southwest monsoon) and the dry season (northeast monsoon). The rainy season begins in May and ends in October. Most of the people prefer to sail in this season as there are much more winds compared to the dry season. The dry season on the other hand begins in November and takes place until April.
