Phuket Weather - Current Conditions - What's it doing now?

Latest Weather | Previous Months | Weather Links | Moon/Sun and Tides

We try to keep this weather page updated year round. Phuket weather observations based on Sunrise Divers office at Karon Beach, Phuket and from Jamie's wanderings around Phuket. For reports from previous months, see our Phuket Weather database which covers the last 3 years.

It's hard to keep up with weather reports - we are busy here at Sunrise Divers looking after our customers needs! However, Jamie's Phuket Weather Blog has regular updates every day or three along with lots of useful links.

Weather in Phuket - Patterns and Seasons

The weather in Phuket follows certain patterns which are pretty easy to understand. As divers, we are naturally concerned about what the weather will be doing when we are diving. We like sun and calm seas, but diving continues all year unless it's really bad - this is very rare.

The 3 Seasons - Cool and Dry, Hot and Dry, "Wet"

Every year is different. The weather changes to "wet" sometime between end of April to June. Normally the summer months are pretty good - certainly more sunny days than rain, but the weather in unpredictable and you can get some really wet and windy days. Rain is usually sporadic short showers and can be very localised - rain in Patong beach but not Karon, just a few km away for example. Calling this season "wet" is not quite accurate - most of the time, weather is nice.

The "good" weather starts again sometime in October/November and lasts until April/May. The months November - February are a few degrees cooler due to fresh NE winds. March and April can be really hot, with very little wind. This is what we call the "hot season".

Phuket climate on offshore islands (Similans, Racha etc.)

It is worth noting that during the rainy season, even if it's raining on the island of Phuket, you are likely to have more sun when you are out at sea. The mountains on Phuket top 500m, so trap clouds and promote thunderstorms. Often a day's diving is sunny, with a rain shower speeding over, you'll get a suntan, but you get wet back on land!

 

Phuket Weather Reports - April 2008

 

Phuket Weather Update: April 2008

One word - HOT. This is the hottest time of year. Some isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening, but seas are calm and weather is great. April 13th was Songkran day (the traditional Thai new year) where everyone gets wet despite the sunshine! For more updates and photos check out Jamie's Phuket Weather Blog. Too busy in high season here!

 

Phuket Weather Update: January 2008

The month has been mostly very sunny, with the last few days having almost clear blue skies, fresh "winter" mornings" and a slackening NE wind. The wind was quite strong around New Year, making for choppy seas on small boats, but weather right now for diving is absolutely perfect.
