September Weather Averages

Sorted by popularity:

What's the Weather Like in Phuket in September

Welcome to September the coldest, by Phuket standards, and the wettest month at the end of the monsoon. Even though this is the coldest month, it only makes it be a few degrees as the top temperature rarely goes above 30°C. This will not deter many tourists as it is still warmer than the European winter. The rain will fall on around 21 days this month with heavy downpours leading to sunny and humid days. 

Rain

Average rainfall is 400mm that is more than 10 times you will see during each month of the dry season from December to February. Rainfall will start to ease towards the end of the month heading into October which will see about half the amount of rain.

Temperature

As Phuket sits near the equator, the average temperatures don't vary much and the average temperature for September is 27°C that lies between the average high/low temperatures of 24°C and 30°C.

Humidity

Due to the amount of rainfall and the temperatures the average humidity this month is 85% to 90% which is up from the lows of 75% in the dry season. Many indoor activities occur in air conditioned centres and this makes a great time of year for shopping in the malls and plazas in cooler conditions.

Sunshine 

With the height of the monsoon and cloudy weatheraverage sunshine hours per day have dropped to 7 hours from the 9 hours a day seen in the drier months. This will still allow time to spend outdoors at the beaches and the nearby islands exploring Phuket.

Sea Temperature

Ocean temperatures are fairly stable and the sea temperature in September is 29°C which is just 1 degree less than the highest that is experienced during the hot season. This temperature will stay until December when it falls to its coolest at 28°C. Not all beaches will be open this time of year for swimming due to the dangerous conditions caused by the monsoon weather.

Fog

September will average just 1 foggy day with the foggiest months occurring between December and April.
