Reliable Minor delays Delays likely Major disruptions
Southwest monsoon Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep

June to September is peak monsoon for most of India's west coast, south, and east. Mumbai, Goa, Kerala, and Karnataka airports see heavy rainfall-triggered delays and occasional diversions. Kolkata is hit by cyclonic systems from the Bay of Bengal. Flight cancellations spike when runways flood or cross-wind limits are exceeded. July is typically the worst month.

💡 Tip: Book refundable fares during monsoon months. Avoid tight connections — monsoon delays can cascade. Late morning flights (8-11 AM) tend to be less affected than afternoon thunderstorm window.

Northeast monsoon & Bay of Bengal cyclones Oct, Nov

Oct-Nov is cyclone season for the Bay of Bengal. Chennai, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Vizag can see days-long shutdowns during major cyclones. Non-cyclone days are usually fine. Risk is episodic, not constant.

💡 Tip: Monitor weather advisories when booking Oct-Nov travel to East Coast. Most days are normal — only named cyclones trigger major disruptions.

💡 Typical price range on this route

Prices on BOM→MAA typically range from ₹5,480 to ₹15,711 — based on 739 fare observations over the last 30 days.
