When To Go To Socotra
Climate is an
important consideration. And this depends on your interest.
October to December: This is the best tourism season and
suitable for nature enthusiasts, since weather and climate and in this time
the island puts on a fresh green coat after the monsoon season. The climate
is mild with a chance of an odd shower.
January
till March is considered also as the best time for visiting the island
due to the weather is not too hot yet and the sea is crystalline.
|
March to May: Temperatures usually rise above 37 C,
but the sea in this period of the year very calm and visibility is excellent
and it is the best period for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving in
Socotra Island, relaxing on the very pure white sandy beaches of Socotra
islands.
Generally, wildlife and natural viewing is most rewarding from the end
of January through May.

Avoid the monsoon season from June till
September when strong winds sweep the island. However, if you are a
surfing enthusiast coming in July or August when wind is growing in speed and
