Phuket has a tropical monsoon climate, so it is hot and humid year-round. But if you like the heat, the island is an ideal vacation spot no matter the season. The most pleasant months to visit are from November to March when the heat and humidity are manageable. The monsoon season occurs from May to October, so expect higher rainfall and humidity levels. During this time swimming on the west coast of the island is not recommended. April to May are typically the hottest months when the temperature often reaches 36 C (80 F to 95 F). February is the driest month, while the coldest is in December.Depending on what you want to do on your holiday, there is a perfect season for you in Phuket. The peak tourist season and the best time for sun and beach are from November to March. Late December and January are another peak time, so expect the highest prices for hotels and airfares. November through April have the best conditions and visibility for diving and snorkeling. The off-peak seasons are between June-July and September-October which happen to be the monsoon season. But if you don’t mind the weather, this is a great time for low crowds and good deals.
