Thailand has year round tropical climate with
an overall average humidity of 66% to 82%.
In Phuket there are only two seasons, a dry
and a wet, with small temperature
differences between the two. The NE
monsoon season from November till the end
of April and the SW monsoon season from
May till the end of October.
The NE wind is the dry sunny offshore breeze
weather, the SW wind is an onshore wind
and brings the rains in from the Indian Ocean.
Sunny skies, nice breezes and moderate
temperature characterize the cool season
and this is the driest time of the year. During
this period also the sea conditions are
usually excellent.
Phuket is incredibly fortunate, as extreme
weather and sea conditions are uncommon.
Very few fishing days are lost in fact due to
heavy seas or tropical storms.
In the wet season, particularly during
September and October it might be raining
for some time but prolonged periods of rain
only occur occasionally. Yet extended periods
of sunshine and blue skies are more than
common. As a matter of fact several anglers
prefer to show up at this time, as crowds are
thinner and the overall climate is pleasant.
However due to a combination of uncertain
weather and sea conditions during the wet
season we do not operate liveaboard safari
to the Similan, Ko Rok or Andaman Islands.
On the other hand day trips around Phuket
are available year round and the SW
monsoon season is excellent for Sailfish and
Wahoo which can be caught in great number
in the nearby Racha Yai and Racha Noi
Islands.
Also the Andaman Island's tropical climate is
influenced by the southwest and northeast
monsoons. Because of this there is a
relatively short window to make the transfer
trip and to operate liveaboard cruises which
goes from February till the beginning of April
each year.
Finally sea surface temperatures are
generally warm year round ranging from 79
to 84 F (26 to 29 C).
