June 2011-2010-2009-2008

2011-06-30T19:50:00.000-07:00

June 2011 was a very nice month with excellent weather: 2 wet days and 4 overcast days, all other days were sunny. Quite often a bit of rain, most of that in the evening. The rain was very refreshing, making it temperature wise also a very nice month, never too hot.
We had 11 days with a moderate or strong wind, on three of those days we could not dive in the Shark Point area because the waves were too high, making it unsafe, all other destinations were possible every day of the week.
The corals, some of which were bleached in May 2010, are recovering fast with the water temperature staying at approximately 29 degrees centigrade.

2011-05-31T19:57:00.000-07:00

May 2011 was a nice and sunny month with excellent diving conditions. We had 29 days which were at least partly sunny. On some of those days a bit of rain, very refreshing, and only 2 overcast days.
It was cooled than the extreme warm 2010. The corals, that were bleached in May 2010, are recovering fast with the water temperature staying at approximately 29 degrees centigrade.
On two days we were not able to dive in the Shark Point area, all other destinations were possible every day of the week.

April 2011 was a nice and sunny month with nearly no wind and excellent diving conditions. That was just what we needed after the end of March was horrible wet and windy. It was a bit cooler than normal, which was also very welcome.
On two days we were not able to dive at Kata Beach, all other destinations were possible every day of the week.

March 2011-2010-2009-2008

2011-03-31T19:07:00.001-07:00

March 2011 started good enough, but at the end had the worst weather ever seen in March: wet, cold (at least for the locals) and a strong wind coming from all directions. This weather would have been extremely bad for the wettest months of the year, let alone for March, a dry, sunny and calm month weatherwise. Compared to other parts in Southern Thailand we were very lucky though, with no flooding, the airport remained open and the ferries stopped for just two days.
On five days we were limited in dive destinations, e.g. no diving at Kata Beach or Richelieu Rock possible, and on two days there was no diving possible at the normal destinations.

February 2011-2010-2009-2008

2011-02-28T18:18:00.000-08:00

February 2011 was the month it is supposed to be: nice and warm with lots of sun. We did experience more days with a moderate or strong wind than we normally have.
Diving at our housereef here in Kata was possible every day, as was divingh at all other divesites, including Richelieu Rock.

January 2011-2010-2009-2008

2011-01-31T18:45:00.000-08:00

January 2011 continued where December 2010 left of: more rain than usual and more clouds than usual. This also made it colder than usual. We also experienced more days with a moderate or strong wind than we normally have.
This does not mean the weather was not nice, in fact some people like it when it is not as warm as it can be. So just like in December the weather was not bad, far from it, but it was not the excellent weather we normally see in January.

Diving at our housereef here in Kata was possible except for one day, because that day visibility was almost zero. Also Richelieu Rock, North of the Similans, could not be reached on a few days. The other divesites were available every day.

December 2010-2009-2008-2007

2010-12-31T20:50:00.000-08:00

December 2010 was the wettest December in living history. A lot of this rain fell in the evening on days with some rain during the day, so it was not really bad, but it was far from the excellent weather we normally see in December.
Also the temperature was down, mainly because we had a lot of days with some clouds or even completely overcast. Windwise we had 8 days with a moderate or strong wind, and on a few of these days the wind was so strong boats moored at Kata beach were beached.
This means that we were on some days not able to dive at our housereef here at Kata Beach, and also Richelieu Rock, North of the Similans, could not always be reached. The other divesites were available every day.
Because of the clouds December was also cooler than usual.

November 2010-2009-2008-2007

2010-12-03T00:01:00.000-08:00

November 2010 saw some excellent days, but was not the nice month it can be. I think it was the wettest month in histroy, with lots of rain. Most of it fell during the evenings and nights, but also during the day there were some really wet days. This means that we were limited in diving at kata Beach, and also Richelieu Rock, North of the Similans, could not always be reached. The other divesites were available every day.
Because of the rain November was also a bit cooler than usual.

October 2010 saw some excellent days, but was not the nice month it can be. 16 of the 31 days we had a moderate or strong wind, on 4 days limiting us in diving destinations. We had only 4 really sunny days and 13 days with plenty of sun, but also 14 overcast day, 6 of those days really wet. This also influenced the average temperature, making October 2010 cooler than usual.
All in all, October was the wet and windy month it can sometimes be with some nice days in between.

September 2010 was an excellent month. 27 of the 30 days we had a slight breeze or no wind whatsoever, so the diving was excellent with flat seas. Only 2 days were really wet, and on 22 days we had plenty of sunshine.
The diving boats were able to go out every day, but on 2 days were limited in destinations.
All in all, September was not the wet month it usually is, and the weather this year was really nice.

August was a typical August: some bright and sunny days, some days with a bit of rain, and also some overcast days. But only two really rainy days.
With a slight breeze the weather was most of the time very good for diving, we experienced just five days with strong winds.
August was not very wet and a bit cooler than in some previous years, which was excellent for the health of the corals. Still some coral bleaching can be seen at Racha Yai, but the weather cooled down before real damage could be done.
On all days the diving boats could go to all destinations.

Some coral bleaching can be seen at Racha Yai, but the weather cooled down before real damage could be done.
In 2009 the diving boats could not go out on one day in July because of the weather conditions, this year there was one day where we were limited in our destinations because of the height of the waves. On all other days the boats could go to all destinations.
