What's the Weather Like in Phuket in August

August lies within the monsoon season in Phuket and it does not seem to deter any tourists visiting the area. Many come for the night life and spend the days lazing on the b each after the morning rains have gone. 

Rain

Average rainfall drops slightly this month from July to 260mm and will increase towards the end of the month to the September high of 400mm. The rain will fall on an average of 19 days and will be replaced by sunny days with a cooling breeze where the constant warm temperatures are pleasant to be indoors and outdoors.

Temperature

Being near to the equator warm temperatures remain all year around and in August the average temperature is 28°C that sits between the average high/low temperatures of 25°C and 31°C. The cooling breeze will minimise the effects of the high humidity with the average humidity sitting around 85%. The highest humidity is experienced in September and is accompanied by the highest rainfall. Many places you visit will be air conditioned or oriented to take advantage of the cooling breeze from the sea.

Sunshine 

The monsoon limits the number of sunshine hours to 8 hours a day which still gives you ample time to relax on the beaches and swim. 

Sea Temperature

Ocean temperatures are a warm 29°C that is only 1 degree less than the highest of 30°C seen during the hot months. Be aware that some beaches in direct influence of the monsoon will be closed at times and you need to pay attention to the flags on the beach to stay safe. These beaches will have larger swells, higher waves and dangerous undertows.

Fog

August will see an average of 2 foggy days that is just 1 day more than last month. December to April is the time of year with the foggiest days.
