Dindi (Konaseema Backwaters) season by season

Winter December to February Prime time

Dec-Feb is the window: 30 C, still water, coconut canals at dawn and the Antarvedi sangam an hour downstream.

Summer March to May Shoulder

Apr-Jun the delta sits at 42 C and swamp-humid, and a slow boat under a tin roof is the worst place to be in it.

Monsoon June to September Do not go

Jun-Sep the Godavari floods the delta, small ferries stop and the lanes around Razole and Malikipuram go under.

Autumn October to November Shoulder

Oct-Nov is green and empty, but this is cyclone coast and a Bay depression can shut boat movement for days.
