Traveller notes on Sundarbans in July
Notes from nearby Kolkata (126 km away)
Sundarbans doesn't have its own notes for July yet — these are about Kolkata, close enough to share the season.
Regulars do not soften July. "It will rain, and rain, flooding will be widespread, bringing life to a standstill," and the detail that lands: "the rain is extremely heavy — an umbrella would just about keep your head dry, your feet would be soaking wet." The reason is geography rather than rainfall alone. Kolkata sits "practically at sea level" and "can get waterlogged quickly when rains lash"; one poster watched an aircraft abort its landing and circle waiting for a let-up. Heat comes with it. The near-unanimous recommendation is to come between October and March instead, "when the weather is pleasant, rain is minimum, and the humidity is tolerable." Our record puts July at 28.8 rain days out of 31 and a 38°C feels-like — the rare case where the grid and the forum agree completely.
