Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 28th November, 2016


Today's weather;

It's nice over Koh Samui this morning, the sky is fairly blue, the sun is darting around this early on although there's an odd chance of some light rain this morning as well, possibly a bit later and the wind has picked up a little bit. Current temp at 7am is already 29C

In Kata on Phuket we have a few clouds but also plenty of blue and the sun is about to warm up, to burn off the remaining thin cloud layers. It looks like a nice and warm day is in the making. Current temp at 7am is 27.4C

Yesterday evening a tourist bus overturned on Koh Samui roads with 28 people on board, when the driver of the bus lost control as the vehicle negotiated a curve, causing the bus to topple over on its side. Ten of the tourists were slightly injured, the driver, tour guide and the remaining 18 passengers were unharmed. Six of the injured tourists were sent to Bangkok Hospital Samui and four others were taken to Thai International Hospital Samui. Luckily nobody died. It looks this happened in the Baan Namuang area.

Yesterday was a bit of a mixed bag, sunshine, clouds, some rain, back to sunshine and so on. On top of that it reached a max temp of 33C, not bad at all for a November day on Koh Samui.

On the way to work in Kata, Phuket each day, less than a ten minute walk from my room to the Kata Big Rock training facility of PADI CDC Center ' Dive Asia', I pass this old jeep, parked in the green and grown under by the green in the garden. You can pass it a lot of times before you actually notice there's a car in the garden!

The foreast tells us to enjoy today and tomorrow, it may be the last two sunny days around Koh Samui for a while to come. As of Wednesday the rain and wind are supposed to pick up and by Thursday we should have strong wind and lots of rain pretty much all day long and this could easily continue well into next week. It looks like the monsoon is about to start, for real this time.
