Weather in Koh Samui
Unfortunately, visitors are sometimes incorrectly informed about
the seasons of Koh Samui prior to their departure from their home.
It is unaware by most of the visitors. For instance, we do not have
the same rainy season as it does in Bangkok and other parts of Thailand.
During the high season, from December to February, temperatures
on Koh Samui can reach up to 30?C (86?F). Some tropical rain showers
occur sometimes in November and a little bit in December. This is
the best season for European people as the weather is comparatively
cooler than the rest of the year.
Weather Update!!!
From March to June it becomes very hot -- up to 40?C (114?F), with
little or no rain. You will thank to your air-conditioned accommodation
during this time!
The months of July to September are hot with occasional rain. These
are also popular months for visitors.
October and November see more rain than other months, though it
generally doesn't rain every day. In contrast to other regions of
Thailand, Samui does not really have a well-defined rainy season
but sometimes there are sunlight-less periods for two or three days,
especially during the monsoon month of November. The weather is
quite difficult to predict during this time, but being Koh Samui,
you are virtually assured of getting some great sunshine.
Please note that : the above details are based on the experience
from the past years as a reference only and the weather may vary
according to the meteorological conditions throughout the year,
for example, Greenhouse Effect and so on.
