Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 14^th January, 2017

Today's weather;

A nice blue sky emerged this morning out of the night over Koh Samui and it looks like it's going to be a nice and warm day with a current temp at 9am of 29C

Most roads are drying up although some spots are still partially flooded or wet, however, with weather like this, it will speed up the process of drying up the roads.

All dive and snorkeling boats are in full swing again. Time to book one your tours with me.

Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 14th January, 2017: Koh Som on the left or middle of the picture with Koh Phangan in the background, yesterday, baking in the sunlight. This picture was taken at the Big Buddha statue which gives beautiful sights all around, especially with blue and sunny skies like yesterday

Yesterday saw a very nice and warm day around Koh Samui on Friday the thirteenth. We had a blue sky most of the day with occasionally some clouds drifting in. It felt good to have the sun on your skin again after all the recent rain and floods. Max temp reached 32C

The forecast didn't change a lot. Today and tomorrow should be fine with lots of sunshine and possibly a small and short shower tomorrow. From Monday onward, the wind is supposed to pick up for a day or three with currently light rain predicted on Monday and Tuesday, harder rain on Wednesday  and Thursday and fading out again by Friday.  This rain will however not be torrential but more like a typical monsoon rain, short or longer showers but not torrential. Floods should not occur, besides maybe a flash flood.

Unfortunately not much sunshine is expected next week.

Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 9th January, 2017

Today's weather;

Once more, it's very grey, cloudy and wet this morning over Koh Samui. Hard rain went on in intervals all night and part of this morning all around the island, but at last the wind is supposed to drop soon and the rain to seriously slow down or stop soon during this morning, with some rain being expected again during the late afternoon, a kind of last call.

A lot of flooded areas where the water receded yesterday may have flooded again but I do expect them to drain again as well today. Current temp at 7am is 26C

'Only' 38mm of rain is expected during the next 24 hours around Koh Samui. A big difference compared to last week where the amount of rain sometimes easily exceeded 100mm per day.

Currently Krabi, Koh Lipe and Koh Lanta (where I will be later this month) are seriously hit with rain, storm and floods whilst Phuket is having loads of rain as well. Slowly the weather depression is shifting from the Southern East coast to the West coast.

Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 9th January, 2017; The small island in front is Koh Som, located in the Bang Rak bay and in the background, covered in clouds is Koh Phangan, which has been seriously affected by the recent floods as well. This picture was taken yesterday afternoon during a dry spell

Yesterday saw a good day around the island, rain varied from a drizzle to light rain or no rain at times. This immediately had an affect on a lot of flooded areas, where the water receded and all around the island the roads were passable again. Last nights hard rain may have flooded a few areas again though. Max temp reached 27C

The forecast is looking real good. Today should see the last bits of rain, during the late afternoon and during the day the wind should start fading.  Tomorrow is currently predicted to be cloudy but dry and as of Wednesday the clouds should break up and possibly we can expect some sunshine. Wouldn't that be nice for a change.

The remainder of the week and the weekend shows partial cloud cover but no rain anymore. It's time we can feel that sunshine on our skin again!
