Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 3rd August, 2014

Today's weather;

Today a very early update since we're about to go for an early morning dive here in a very rainy and cloudy Sacheon-myeong in South Korea with a current temp of 25C at 8am local time.

Koh Samui looks fairly cloudy, the sun is just rising and possibly some sunshine later today. Current temp at 6am is 27C

It's been a while, but here's an update on the progress of Wat Plai Laem's new sermon hall. It's closing in on completion.

Yesterday saw a hot day around Samui with a max temp of a whooping 35C

Sacheon-myeong beach, South Korea, where we dived yesterday as part of the current PADI IDC in the ROK

The forecast is easing up, we should have had a very windy weekend and that dissipated and although there's still a fairly strong wind expected between Monday and Friday morning, it's not anywhere near how it was predicted a few days ago. The amount of expected rain has also decreased but do expect rain during next week, although hopefully just of the tropical shower variation.
