Weather on Koh Phangan Island



Koh Phanhan (an island off the east coast of Thailand's southern peninsular) enjoys a tropical climate. Temperatures do not vary much throughout the year and do not fall much at night. On Koh Phangan Island the dry season lasts for just two months, March and April. But even at this time there is still the possibility of ‘mango showers’ (the dry season being mango season). During these two months the weather is really hot. It rains the most on the island during October and November at which time the mosquitoes and Dengue fever can become a problem. But it doesn’t rain constantly during the rainy season. In fact, on most days you will see some sunshine. Also, it is hot even when cloudy, and you can still be sunburnt if it is overcast. Between April and October is the low tidal season. It is not really possible to swim in the sea along Koh Phangan's south and west coasts during this time.
