WEATHER IN PHUKET THAILAND
Yearly Climate and Weather in Phuket Thailand
The annual monsoon begins
earlier (May) than in northern Thailand but generally ends late
in October. Other than the period from 15 September to 15
October, when the rain falls steadily, most monsoon days are
rain-free except for showers in the afternoon.
The best months are November through February when daytime and
nighttime temperatures are low. In the hot season, afternoon
temperatures can rise to 30-34 degrees C (86-93 degrees F) but
are tempered by cool breezes and dip to tolerable levels at
night. Temperatures range from a daytime high of 34 degrees C
(93 degrees F) in the hot season to a nighttime low of 21
degrees C (70 degrees F) in the cool season. The water
temperature never drops below 20 degrees C (68 degrees F).
March to mid-May
24-34 degrees C (80-93 degrees F)
Mid-May to mid-November
23-32 degrees C (74-91 degrees F)
November to February
21-33 degrees C (70-90 degrees F)
So the best time for a visit here would be during the cool
season, but if you don't mind some rain (short showers during
the day) and have in mind that it might be unsafe to swim (redflag
on the beach), you can easily enjoy this island all year around.
