The best time to visit Phuket is during the dry season, from November to February. The weather during this period is relatively cool and dry, and the temperature ranges between 23 degrees Celcius to 30 degrees Celcius. This is also the peak tourist season in Phuket, so prices are generally high. Due to its tropical location, Phuket harbours a warm climate throughout the year. It has two seasons, the wet season from May to October and the dry season from November to April, with February being the driest month.
Weather conditions remain warm almost throughout the year, but there will be a notable difference in rainfall every month; however, April-May and September-October are the hottest. Owing to the southwestern monsoon September-October period is also the wettest. Swimming and diving activities can only take place in the non-monsoon seasons. Even during monsoons, the rainfall occurs intermittently in short bursts, so there will be plenty of sun in between.
