Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 31st July – 06th August, 2017

It's Sunday, we're around 10am and it's time for the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 31st July – 06th August, 2017.

It;s mostly cloudy on Koh Samui with a current temp at 10am of 30C

Yesterday I arrived on Phuket with my wife and our youngest daughter. It rained very hard last night when we woke up around 3am, with a strong wind blowing. Now, around 10am it's partially cloudy and nice again. Current temp at 10am on Kata on Phuket is 29,3C

We went shopping for her shop at Big Buddha and I ran the Bangkok Airways Phuket half marathon with a 5am start. A race in the same series as the Bangkok Airways Koh Samui marathon. Six weeks ago I also ran the half marathon.

I ran a little bit faster compared to the Koh Samui marathon but competition is much stiffer here and with a 1:51'03 time, I came in 53rd of 711 participants and 8th in my age category of 50-59 with 55 participants. Alas, there were only 5 trophies.

This afternoon it's back to Koh Samui and tomorrow I will drive back to Phuket again to start the August 2017 PADI IDC on Phuket.

Last week saw mostly partially clouded skies overt Koh Samui with a very rare tropical shower thrown in for good measure. Maximum temperatures ranged from 32C to 34C and a lot of times it felt a lot warmer.

The forecast for next week is looking good. Cloudy to partially cloudy skies with a rare tropical shower, most likely today or tonight. Towards the end of the week and next weekend the sun might be out and shows off it's presence a bit more.

Enjoy this first  August week of August 2017!

Please do 'like' my Koh Samui blog Facebook page and 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.
