The short answer
When to go to Porbandar
The best window is December to February, when days are warm but not punishing and the air is dry; November and March are good shoulder months. April and May are hot and humid, and October stays warm by day. June to September is the monsoon, with the heaviest rain in July, so the coast road and the Bird Sanctuary are better visited in winter. Porbandar is flat and short on stairs, so seniors cope well here year-round if they sightsee early and rest at midday.
