Kakinada is entering the part of the year that locals and visitors look forward to. The harsh summer is long gone, and the cooler months are about to begin.
What the weather looks like
The most recent forecast I could find (issued October 18) shows overcast and cloudy skies with temperatures around 87°F, which is about 31°C. Humidity is high, and the “feels like” figure reaches 98°F (about 37°C) in the afternoon. Rain chances were close to zero for those two days. The Met Office long-range outlook puts highs of 29 to 31°C and lows of 25 to 26°C. Weather for Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India +2
So expect sticky afternoons and mild nights. Carry water, wear light cotton, and avoid long outdoor work between noon and 3 PM.
Why October starts the visiting season
Travel sites agree that October to March is the best time to visit Kakinada. Some list November to February as the peak. If you are planning a trip for family or friends, now is the time to start. makemytrip
Places worth a visit this season
- Uppada Beach: a quiet stretch of sand, best in the early morning or at sunset.
- Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary: India’s second-largest mangrove forest, good for birdwatching once it cools down a little.
- Pithapuram and Draksharamam: the temple towns, easy day trips from the city.
- Hope Island: the natural breakwater that shelters Kakinada Port, which makes the port possible.
A note for the coast
October to December is the northeast monsoon and cyclone season on the Andhra coast. Even when today’s sky looks calm, keep an eye on IMD (Indian Meteorological Department) bulletins before travelling, and fishermen should follow official warnings.
Eating out
Kakinada’s food culture is a big part of the city’s appeal. Visitors regularly look for Kakinada kaja, a local sweet, and for seafood and Godavari-style meals. Ask locals for current favourites, as restaurant ratings keep changing.
