Interesting Tips |
The climate of Krabi Province is tropical and therefore warm
throughout the year. On the other hand, Krabi is also affected by
the monsoon winds that bring about seasonal changes.
There are two very hot periods of weather on Krabi, the first is
between April and May when the average temperatures ranges from 27
to 36 degrees Celsius with occasional tropical thunderstorm bringing
relief from the heat.
It is also very hot between September and October, but the frequent
rainfall has a wonderful cooling effect.
In May, at the peak of the southwest monsoon, it rains on an average
of 25 days during the month, making it to one of the most humid
months of the year. Rainy days are interspersed with sunny days
during this period and the rain generally comes in tropical
downpours of an hour or so throughout the day mixed with periods of
sunshine.
November to March is the most popular time for tourists to visit
Krabi. It is when the northeast monsoon brings beautiful blue skies
and predominantly sunny weather with an average temperature of 24 to
32 degrees Celsius. Visitors are advised to make early reservations
(maybe a year in advance) for accommodations during this period of
time because of the popularity of the Krabi and its attractions. |
