What this means for Koh Samui

Compared with normal

Today is about average for August. The forecast high of 81°F is in line with the 84°F typical for this month.

Rain chance explained

A 67% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives.

Travel and driving

Gusts to 37 mph will push high-sided vehicles on exposed roads and bridges. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.

Worth knowing

Within 15 degrees of the equator, day length barely changes all year; seasons are defined by rain, not temperature.

Worth knowing

Northern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in June to August.

Worth knowing

The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 37°F - an unusually even climate through the year.

What to pack, what to skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • Lightweight, light-coloured clothing and a refillable water bottle
  • Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
  • A packable rain shell - 6 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 37 mph.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid October, November and December - historically the least comfortable months here.
