The weather on Phuket in September
All weather reports tell that September has the heaviest atmospheric precipitations, when the season of rains is on its peak. The rains are very intense in this season, and just an umbrella will not be enough to save you from tropical rain. Those who want to spend a more pleasant time and to enjoy the sun, should go 2-3 months later or choose some other place for vacation in September.
The weather on Phuket in October
October is not considered to be high season on Phuket, because the weather may still be rainy. Phuket is located in a tropical zone, and in October it still has summer hotness. It may be hard to get your body adapted to weather conditions, because in this period of the year the humidity is very high – even on a sunny day it may be around 90%. October is last but one month with a strong influence of southwest monsoons, during which the major part of precipitation of the whole year falls as rain. By the end of the month it usually stabilizes into a sunny pleasant weather, and a high season begins. The temperature in October reaches +30 C or even higher, and the temperature of water in mid autumn reaches 27-29 C. This time is perfect for those who don’t like to be mainstream – the tourists are not so many yet, and the prices for tours and hotels are quite pleasant.
The weather in November
November is the start of high season on Phuket, when the weather finally stabilizes and rains subside. Heavy rains may still occur, but they pass quickly, and are not so likely to happen. The weather on Phuket reaches +30 C or higher, and the temperature of water in November is +28 - +29 C.
