Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 21^st January, 2017

Today's weather;

It's cloudy and greyish this morning over Koh Samui and it feels like rain is in the air. Last night I woke up at 2am from a very strong rain shower, accompanied by some thunder. All this despite a glorious sunrise around 6.30am at the East coast of the island, when the sun rose from the ocean as a big burning orange ball. A beautiful sight. Unfortunately the clouds over our island seem undisturbed by this and stick together. During the afternoon rain is predicted. Current temp at 8am is 25C

Yesterday saw a very wet morning with plenty of drizzle and light but constant rain but there was a much nicer afternoon, which was dry although the sun didn't really come out to play. Max temp reached 30C

The forecast for the next seven days hasn't changed that much, mostly cloudy to partially cloudy skies with each day some rain being predicted, not all day long rain but occasionally a shower and it doesn't look like a lot of sunshine can be expected during the next seven days. Tomorrow may see some very strong wind durin  the afternoon. I can only hope to be proven wrong.
