CLIMATE
 
 
       Phuket has a tropical climate and is warm throughout the year. There are really only 2 seasons: dry and wet. The local weather is dominated by seasonal monsoon winds, which change direction and bring with them a corresponding weather pattern.

The high season in Phuket is November - April when the Northeast Monsoon prevails, bringing with it hot, dry weather. Daily temperatures range from 27 to 36 degrees Celsius.
The low season is from May - October and the temperatures are generally cooler, though by no means cold.
This period is quite humid due to the combination of rain showers and heat. The rainy days are interspersed with sunny days and when it rains it's a tropical downpour, and will likely clear up only to repeat itself later the same day.

The months leading up to the change of seasons can produce unusual and unpredictable weather patterns, and some of the most spectacular daytime cloud formations and sunsets.
