Expect a warm day with maximum temperatures reaching 26°C (80°F) and minimum temperatures around 25°C (77°F).

The skies will mostly be cloudy, reducing visibility to about 4 miles during heavy rain. If you’re planning to be outdoors, consider carrying an umbrella or raincoat!

Monday, August 26, 2024

The weather starts showing some improvement. The maximum temperature will rise slightly to 27°C (81°F) with a minimum of 26°C (78°F). While there will still be a chance of rain throughout the day (100% chance in the early morning), the total expected precipitation is less than the previous day.

You can anticipate around 10 hours of sunshine, creating a favorable environment for those looking to enjoy Phuket’s picturesque beaches. Winds will continue from the northwest, but at a milder pace. Just like the previous day, high humidity levels persisting around 81-86% will keep the temperatures feeling hotter than they are.

Tuesday, August 27, 2024

The weather will be similar to Monday with a consistent pattern of light rain showers expected. The maximum temperature will again reach 27°C (80°F) and a minimum of 25°C (78°F). As high as 100% chance of rain graces the forecast throughout the day, it would be wise to keep those rain gear handy.

The UV index is peaking at 11, signaling that even with the showers, it’s crucial to apply sunscreen if you venture outside during midday hours.
