Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st May – 27th May 2018

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st May – 27th May 2018 


It's Sunday morning and time for the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st May – 27th May 2018.
It's nice and hot over Koh Samui with plenty of blue skies and some clouds.It's midday and already 32C and it feels a lot warmer. The temperature is still rising, get that sun lotion out and protect your selves.

This morning I ran the Hat Yai half marathon as part of the 12th Hat Yai marathon, a big event and a well organized race. I came 9th in my age category  of 55-59 out of 52 participants and 60th all over out of 1088 participants. My fastest half marathon to date.
Right now I'm on the public bus back to Koh Samui, we left an hour ago and are expected to be on Samui around 7pm. Still a few hours to go!
It was cloudy in the morning during the race, which made for cool temperatures, ideal for racing with 27.5C.
Now at midday it's 31C and partially cloudy with the sun peeking out,

Last week it was nice and warm around Koh Samui but we also had some showers, thunder storms and a few very hard showers. All in all not too bad though and maximum temperatures ranged from 29C to 34C.
A good week in my opinion.

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st May – 27th May 2018; The dim sum restaurant in Hat Yai where I had breakfast this morning. It's located near the bus station in Hat Yai. Tasty and seemingly very popular since it was very busy. Many restaurants were closed though, due to Ramadan.

The forecast for next week looks like we will have cloudy to partially cloudy days with most likely some rain on Wednesday and a few tropical showers throughout he week. 
Still plenty of sunshine to enjoy though.
Fairly typical weather for this time of the year. Enjoy your time on Koh Samui!

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.
