Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 6^th July – 12^th July 2020

Sunday morning and here we are with the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 6th July – 12th July 2020.

Have done my first longish run again, after a bit more than a month having struggled with an injury. Today's 11km felt good. Especially after a full week of running.

It's 30C and slightly overcast this morning at 11am. Occasionally the sun peaks out. Nice and cool-ish.

Last week school started for all of our children again, This is the school for our youngest. It's her first year in the 'big' school. Very conscientious social distancing rules are in place. Firstly, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer. Secondly, get your temperature checked. Thirdly, get a sticker, stating you've done the two previous steps. Last but not least, chairs are set up with 1.5 meters distance to each side. School classes are halved, one week school, one week off. Face masks are mandatory. 

Last week saw a a fairly typical week for a July around Koh Samui. Firstly, only a little bit of rain. Secondly, plenty of partially clouded skies. Last but not least, some hot afternoons as well, with the sun breaking through. The maximum temperature last week did hit 35C in the beginning of this week. The rest of the week saw temperatures reaching 32C and 33C on a regular base. The minimum temperature dropped on a regular base to 23C. Mostly it was 24 or 25C.

Last week diving at Sail Rock. On the way in a speedboat. Koh Phangan's coast line is in the back ground.

For the forecast of this week, expect some tropical showers. Starting today. The wind might pick up this afternoon but drop again for the rest of the week. Another typical July week seems to be in the making.

Whilst you are here, 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. That is, once the travel restrictions have been lifted.

As already mentioned in my Facebook page, there are many initiatives around the island for helping Thai and Burmese people with food and other donations.
There are however also plenty of foreigners, Westerners or farangs who have a hard time dealing with no income and bills to pay. If you like this blog, this is a good time to help out and make a donation. If you can, much appreciated! There's a donation button on top of this page.
