What are the seasons in Samui like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seasons in Samui can be classified into three categories: dry, hot and rainy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samui\u2019s <strong>dry season<\/strong> lasts from mid-December till February. During this period, there is a fall in temperatures. This is accompanied by little rainfall, calm seas and light winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>hot season<\/strong> occurs during the months of March till September. Temperatures soar to a high of over thirty degrees during March and April, the hottest months of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come late April, there is an increase in rainfall, offering some welcome respite from the tropical heat. The days from May till September often include hot, sunny mornings and heavy rainfall during the afternoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>rainy season<\/strong> falls on the months of September till mid-December. During these months, the weather may be unpredictable and erratic, with rainfall occurring in short, sudden bursts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"297\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.samui-villa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Samui-travel.jpg\" alt=\"Samui Travel\" class=\"wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Samui-travel.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Samui-travel-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Samui-travel-150x89.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_When_are_the_best_times_to_visit_Samui\"><\/span>2. When are the best times to visit Samui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>June<\/strong> is a good time for travellers to visit Samui. During this month, the weather conditions are favourable for travel, as there is little rainfall and not too much heat. There is also lesser tourist crowds during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come July and August, tourist numbers soar to a record high, as it is the European school vacation period. These two months bring about an increase in accommodation prices, as well as crowded beaches and tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mid-January to the end of February<\/strong> is also an ideal time for travellers to make a trip to Samui. The weather conditions are favourable, and the tourist spots are less crowded compared to the bustling festive periods of Christmas and the New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Which_months_are_unadvisable_for_visiting_Samui\"><\/span>3.
