Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 13th April – 19th April 2020

Hello folks, it's Sunday morning and time for the good old Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 13th April – 19th April 2020.
The lsd is done and dusted. Relax, that means 'long slow distance' run. Still working hard all week to stay fit. Despite the fact that there are no races at the moment.

Koh Samui has 7 confirmed Covid19 cases. Two of them have already been sent home again from the hospital. A good 90 people were suspected of having the virus and were tested accordingly. 85 were just fine and the result of 1 or 2 people is currently up in the air.

We're closing in on on noon and it's 33C already. It feels a lot warmer already. A light partial cloud cover doesn't help to cool things down! Although we occasionally have some rain in April, it's pretty hot now!

Talking about rain. Last week Tuesday we had some serious showers. It was lovely. Cool temperatures and water to slightly fill up the ground water levels. Besides Tuesday, most rain last week fell during the night. I woke up a few times from very hard showers. The maximum temperature last week reached 33C. The minimum temperature on the other hand, didn't drop below 24C.

There are still many people moving away from Koh Samui. No tourists means no jobs. Means no money. Can't pay the rent, can't pay for food. Hard times for many people. At home there's no rent and they can get by with little money. Many food hand outs are being organized around the island. Long queue's with people waiting for the hand outs to start or for their turn. Not only on Koh Samui. Reports come in that it's pretty much the same all over Thailand. From Chiang Mai, via Bangkok to the Southern cities.

The forecast for next week is looking good. Partially cloudy skies. Plenty of sunshine. Possibly a few showers towards Friday and next weekend. Glorious weather! You wish you were here!

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. 

Once travel restrictions have been lifted, and you're done resting or need something else to do, there are plenty of things on offer on and around Koh Samui You can go snorkeling or diving or take a dive course. 
Join me in a private dive trip with yours sincerely! 
Contact me for more detailed information on any of the options mentioned. All in due time!
