Climate - Phuket has a tropical, monsoon climate. November through March is the High Season, and considered the best time to visit, with its lower humidity and cool, ocean breezes. April through May can get very hot, but short and frequent, heavy thunder showers cool it off a bit, and are beautiful to watch coming in off the sea. The months of June, July and August, still considered the "Rainy Season", are generally quite sunny, though short, heavy rains come and go, cooling the island off. Local Thai and foreign residents generally enjoy this period the most, since the island is not very busy. September through October see the most rain during the year.
