Climate and soil	Goa's climate, typified by its tropical location and proximity to the Arabian Sea, is hot and humid for a majority of the year. The highest temperatures, which can exceed 35 °C (95 °F), are observed in May. The arrival of the monsoon in early June brings a welcome respite from the heat, with torrential downpours continuing until late September. Goa's soil is predominantly composed of laterite, which is rich in iron oxide and imparts a distinctive reddish hue. The non-rocky, alluvial soil is composed of silt and is rich in minerals and humus, making it extremely fertile. The region is home to some of the oldest rocks on the Indian subcontinent, further enhancing the terroir of this unique wine-producing region.
