Koh Phangan Weather Travel Guide 
Jump to: Weather Galleries
Other parts of the world have long stretches of cold, dark dreary months, but on Koh Phangan it is always warm, and the sun is never gone for long. The temperature generally stays between 24 and 31 Celsius no matter where on the island you go. The drier, sunnier, somewhat cooler months are from January through April. This is the best time to enjoy the beaches and the surrounding islands. The winds average 5 knots and the seas are calm. Laze away an afternoon on the white sand, or trek through the lush interior and look for hidden lakes and mysterious ruins. This is when the southwest monsoon visits the island. Though it is the dry season, downpours can still occur. They don't last long.
May through December offers a wetter, hotter Koh Phangan. The less friendly northeast monsoon brings rain, strong winds (an average of 10-15 knots that can sometimes gust to 30). The water visibility tends to be less clear, but even during the northeast monsoon season you can find beautiful, safe places to swim year round. This may be the season with the 'worst' weather, but really, Koh Phangan's version of bad weather tends to be a cut above the "good" weather anywhere else on earth! The average amount of sunshine you can expect to get every day, even during the wet season, is 5 to 7 hours.
