Phuket weather July 13 and 14

Second weekend of July brought in some clouds and light rain. Saturday clouds came from the sea and slowly covered the sky, late afternoon still some patch of blue could be seen between the grey, despite this only few drops came down.

During night and early morning on Sunday, but was the wind that changed things, soon started blowing bit stronger and this kept rain away, wouldn't say was a sunshine day but not so bad and only few showers here and there.

Patong Beach

On the beach was life as usual with light sunbath and people enjoy carefully the waves. These are perfect days for a visit to a SPA for aroma therapy and massage, best place is Mookda Spa, a small Spa in traditional Thai style just few minutes from Patong beach and just twenty minutes from Kata Beach.

With still fresh air in the morning and a breeze blowing gently was a great day for those like to golf. Golfing in Phuket is very easy with many different golf courses, two most popular are located in Kathu. Loch Palm and Red Mountain there are next each other and belong to same owner but with very different characteristics.

The Loch Palm more easy and relaxing while Red Mountains a bit more challenging.

Weather will stay as now for at least few days, it will depends how strong the Hurricane on Taiwan will get and if it will move down to South China Sea, sending some wind and may be some rain here or move north leaving Phuket untouched.

Phuket weather 8 and 9 July 2013

Not news is a good news, in past two days weather was perfect on line with statistics, only a bit of rain yesterday and today sunshine.

Surfers get ready at Kata Beach

Sea is calm and basically no wind, as normal the south west monsoon wind is weak now and if we won't have any Tropical storm over Vietnam we should have a great July to enjoy the beach and all activities.

People Enjoying the sunny days

Today is an important day for Muslims as Ramadan starts, for 30 days they won't eat during daylight and is time for meditation and charity. The start of holy month is difficult to be determined as depends when the raising moon that open the eighth month has been spotted.

Last, a warning, despite good weather and good sea condition keep an eye to red flags on the beaches because rip currents will continue until the Monsoon will change from North East end of October or early November. So enjoy with care and attention.

Phuketweather 4 and 5 July 2013

We have out the two days together to give a better idea how weather evolved during first week of July.

On 4th July weather in Phuket was the worst since days, wind, heavy rain and all day sky covered with clouds and cool air, it was last day of bad weather and during the night the elements calmed down.

So the morning of the 5th sun was shining and nor rain even at horizon.

The wind blew mild to strong during the day and kept sky clean and dried humidity, has a very good day with the cool breeze from the sea. Now wind is going down and as from forecast tomorrow we should start a period of good weather and calm sea.
