Phuket Weather Timelapses
Weather forecasts for Phuket are almost useless. They predict thunderstorms for an entire week, and you end up with scattered afternoon showers and sunny mornings. The opposite happens too. After years of watching travellers stress over weather apps, I started recording daily timelapses from the Phuket 101 live webcam overlooking Patong Beach.
Each video compresses a full day into about one minute. You can see exactly what a typical day looked like: when the clouds arrived, how long the rain lasted, how much sunshine there actually was. Nothing gives you a more honest picture of Phuket weather than watching it happen in real time.
Browse the month you plan to visit and click through the daily timelapses on YouTube. You will quickly see that even during the rainy season, many days are mostly sunny. And even during the high season, the odd grey day can appear. The weather in Phuket is unpredictable, but these recordings show you exactly what that unpredictability looks like day by day.
Timelapse of each day of January 2026
January is usually the most consistently sunny month. Most timelapses show clear blue skies from morning to evening with barely a cloud.
Timelapse of each day of February 2026
February stays dry and warm. You will notice the sky looks slightly hazier than January as temperatures start rising.
Timelapse of each day of March 2025
March is hot and mostly clear. You might spot a few short evening showers appearing in the later days of the month.
Timelapse of each day of April 2025
April is the hottest month. The timelapses show intense sunshine during the day with occasional dramatic afternoon build-ups.
Timelapse of each day of May 2024
May marks the transition. Watch how the pattern shifts from clear mornings to afternoon clouds and the first real showers of the monsoon.
Timelapse of each day of June 2025
June is a mix. Many days start sunny and stay that way until the afternoon. Others are grey from the start. Browse through and you will see how variable it really is.
Timelapse of each day of July 2025
July has more rain than June, but scroll through the timelapses and you will find plenty of days with long sunny stretches, especially in the mornings.
Timelapse of each day of August 2025
August is deep into the monsoon. The timelapses show more cloud cover and heavier showers, but also surprising sunny days between the rain.
Timelapse of each day of September 2025
September is usually the wettest month. These timelapses show it clearly. More grey days, longer rain periods. But even in September, there are bright days mixed in.
Timelapse of each day of October 2025
October is still wet, but you can often see the pattern starting to improve towards the end of the month as the monsoon weakens.
Timelapse of each day of November 2025
November is the transition back to high season. Some days are perfect, others still have rain. These timelapses show exactly why November is a gamble worth taking.
Timelapse of each day of December 2025
December is peak season, and the timelapses show why. Mostly blue skies and sunshine. But watch closely and you will spot the odd rainy day that catches everyone by surprise.
