Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st - 26th February, 2017


It's time for the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st - 26th February, 2017.
First today's weather though is shaping up nicely, it was cloudy this morning with a refreshing shower around 7.30am and it's clearing up right now, around 10am. The remainder of the day may be partially cloudy with a slight chance of another shower. Current temp at 10am is 30C

My time on Phuket came to an end with a Gas Blender course being taught on Monday and a great days of diving around the Koh Phi Phi dive sites, teaching PADI Specialty Instructor courses. A nice way to end an almost three weeks trip with two PADI IDC programs on Koh Lanta and Phuket respectively. Now it's good to be back home again for a while.

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st - 26th February, 2017; Big Buddha basking in the sun. This picture actually dates back to mid January, just after the floods and torrential rains stopped, It's great at the moment though, Koh Samui is well worth a visit with excellent current weather conditions.

Last week the weather was excellent, all days had plenty of sunshine and only today had a little bit of rain. It was mostly partially clouded skies but as already mentioned, the sun was out each day. Great weather to spend a day on the beach or travel around the island and take in the views.
Perfect February weather, as can be expected this time of the year! Max temps reached 31C to 32C

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st - 26th February, 2017; Sunset over Phuket, the end of a days diving, reaching PADI Instructor specialties around the Koh Phi Phi dive sites and this was a nice view towards the end of the day. The next morning, very early, I was on my way back to Koh Samui, beating traffic on the way out of Phuket

The forecast for the next week is not that great, at least not as good as last week. Mostly partially clouded days are predicted, nothing new here, but with a bit more chance of rain. Tomorrow, Monday, may see a lot of rain with a bit less rain come Tuesday. Wednesday may be almost dry but Thursday and Friday could see rain again. Next weekend should be nice and sunny again though. 
Hang in there, nothing is lost, it will still be an enjoyable with bits and pieces of sunshine, nothing to worry about.

Do 'like' my Koh Samui blog Facebook page Enjoy the beaches around the island or in front of your hotel or resort and get some well deserved rest and a break. If you're done resting or need something else to do, there's plenty of things on offer on and around Koh Samui, you can go snorkeling or diving or take a dive course. You can also enjoy some of the trips I recommend, like a half day gourmet lunch and snorkeling trip at the Southern part of Koh Samui or a photography trip where you get to see the most photo genetic spots on the island or go for a drinks tasting tour if you like a tipple or two.
Contact me for more detailed information on any of the options mentioned.

Hi ! What do you think about the storm just now on koh phangan/samui/tao and south of thailand ?
It says on internet that it will be all day rainy until the 4rt

I'm not sure what storm you're referring to, there was rain for about half an hour this morning and it's cloudy right now.
Next couple of days are predicted to be mostly cloudy with a fair chance of rain each day.
Come the weekend, it should get better.

Hi Camille
We are at Chaweng beach right now. It is raining and the storm sets red flags all along the beach.. It has been like this from about 8 o'clock this morning... Believe me.. There is a storm right now...

Hi Diana,

Don't forget that we live on an island. Where I live, in the north east of the island, we had rain for about half an hour this morning and besides a stiff wind, it has been dry ever since.
It's cloudy and mostly likely will stay cloudy for most of this week although the worst day should be today.
