Weather in Phi Phi
Phi Phi Climate
Phi Phi is only 40km from Phuket and follows a similar climate
with average temperatures around 75�F to 89�F (24�C to 32�C) year
round.
Best
The best time to visit Phi Phi is November to March when humidity
and temperatures average 28C and cool breezes keep things comfortable.
Hot
The hottest time is April - May, with temperatures ranging from
80ºF to 95ºF (27ºC up to 36ºC). There are frequent short heavy
thundery showers, offering welcome relief from the temperature and
humidity.
The Thai New Year (Songkran) occurs on April 13th and everyone
sprinkles (or throws) cool water on each other (see picture).
Locals enjoy June, July and August, since the weather is usually
fine and favourite haunts remain uncrowded. The usual pattern is
brief but heavy showers, with plenty of sunshine between downpours.
Everything is a little less expensive at this time of year, as well.
Temperatures range between 70ºF and 90ºF (20ºC to 33ºC).
Wet
During September and early October there are frequent heavy downpours.
Beaches, outdoor restaurants and streets are relatively uncluttered
by visitors. And even at this time, there are long intervals of
sunshine between the heavy showers. Anyway, plenty of low season
activities, both water- and land-based, still offer themselves in
Phi Phi during this wettest part of the summer season. |
