Phuket’s west coast is back under rain and wind, with seas around 2 meters
Phuket’s west coast is not looking calm today: scattered thundershowers, isolated heavy rain, and seas around 2 meters, rising higher in thunderstorms.
What today looks like
For Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi, Trang, and Satun, the forecast for 3 September calls for scattered thundershowers and isolated heavy rain. North of Phuket, southwesterly winds are expected at 20–35 km/h, with wave height around 2 meters and above 2 meters in thunderstorms.
Who should pay attention
That matters for swimmers, beach operators, boat crews, and anyone planning island transfers or coastal travel. Conditions can change quickly, especially when thunderstorms move through.
Through the week
The pattern does not end today. The 2–8 September outlook keeps scattered thundershowers and isolated heavy rain in place across the southern west coast. For Phuket and areas north of it, the same practical warning remains: moderate southwest winds and waves around 2 meters, higher in thunderstorms.
Practical takeaways
- Check beach flags before swimming.
- Confirm boat departures before heading to the pier.
- Expect short, sudden downpours on coastal roads.
- Keep a backup plan for outdoor activities.
It is a manageable weather day, but not a calm sea day.
