Koh Samui, Thailand daily weather update; 14th 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 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.

Hi Camille! Thank you for all the useful info in the blog!
I have a lomprayah ticket for Monday at 6 am going from Ko Tao to Surat Thani, where I take my flight. Do you think it's very probable the lomprayah boat be cancelled? Maybe I can go to Surat thani tomorrow..
Thank you!

Hi Francisco,

I would expect the boats/ferries just to run according to schedule but to be on the safe side, contact Lomprayah on Koh Tao.
If you want to be really safe, do indeed leave tomorrow

Hi! I've been reading this weather info blog for 2weeks now and it is really helpful!
We'll be at koh samui from 21st of january , than move to Phangan on 26th and than thao from 1st to 4th. However the weather doesn not look really good ( another monzoon approaching.) what is your opinion? I hope it won't ruin our holiday. Our friend was in thailand from the 1st pf january until the 11th and had rain almost all the time:(
Thanks!
Jan

Hi Jan,

It's difficult enough as it is to predict weather in advance, hence for more than w eek ahead, there's just no way I will even go there. Sorry.

Next week is not looking too good though, after that, who knows.

Maybe have a look at my archives, half way down the page on my Samui info and weather blog, right hand side, they go back a few years. Open a month that you’re interested in and check one of the last posts of each month, starting with ‘Goodbye to…………’ this post will tell you the weather conditions for that month.
You can also check each individual post for that month if you wish to.
