Why so long without any news about Phuket Weather? Simply because weather has been very good.

| Panoramic View from Cape Panwa in October 2014 |
Normal pattern for this time of the year, no wind and flat sea, during almost of the day blue sky and sunshine. Can expect anyway local storms and rain falls that last between one and two hours.
During these storms rain can be very heavy causing flash floods that affect only the area where rain is concentrated . So just stop and wait for a moment until rain slow down. There is no strong wind associated with these storms however when at sea visibility can be poor and some waves is possible but less than one meter.

This is the weather situation that will bring us into the so called high season.
What is high season in Phuket : its is the period between mid October and mid May, when wind change direction blowing from north east. Bringing fresh and dry air from inland.

Now we are in the transition, the heavy rains of Summer Monsoon are over, sky is clear most of the day. However air is hot and humidity is high so dense clouds form offshore and once they are loaded or water release it to the ground or sea with this quick and strong storms
A good news is that is now time to enjoy the Sea and it is safe to swim in area and beach, rip currents are gone and sea is flat
