Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 1st October, 2016


Today's weather;

It's looking like it's going to be a nice and sunny day around Koh Samui today with a thin cloud layer in a partially cloudy sky over the island this morning. The wind has now almost dropped and it should stay very dry today. Current temp at 7am is 27C

At Kata on Phuket and around Thailand's biggest island, it seems that the rain is slowly disappearing again and the better and sunnier weather conditions are moving in again. This morning the sky is partially clouded with a thin cloud layer and some darker bigger cloud patches but it looks like it will stay dry and the sun is about to break through. Current temp at 7am is 27.6C

A small spirit house or in this case a small sala on Soi 1 in Maenam, next to the road, where local people 'tam tambon' or make merit

Yesterday saw a dry and partially cloudy day around Koh Samui with the sun peeking out again and it was rather warm with a max temp of 33C

Today the vegetarian festival is in full swing around Thailand and Phuket is fairly famous for this festival. The preliminary rituals for the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, also known as the “Nine Emperor Gods Festival”, began yesterday (Sept 30) – the last day of the eighth lunar month of the Chinese calendar. I'm teaching a PADI IDC here on Phuket, so I'm not sure if I will be able to catch any of the spectacular processions or rituals, but if I can I will surely update the blog accordingly.
On Koh Samui this festival is also celebrated and you can find activities going on mainly in Nathon, as I blogged about a few years back, although that was during Chinese New Year celebrations

The forecast for the next ten days around Koh Samui is looking a lot better again. A lot less clouds and wind are predicted with plenty of opportunities for the sun to peek through and with only a rare tropical shower luring in the background. After next weekend the wind may pick up again. Great weather conditions for my sister's stay on the island, she arrived yesterday.
