Perfect Phuket weather in April

It's a mystery to me why the main tourist season in Phuket is over by the end of March. Many package tours and big overseas tour agents only sell Phuket from November to March, but in my book April is one of the best months to be here... so long as you can stand the heat!

More from the Phuket weather blog:

It's also a great month for scuba diving, the best time of year to find whalesharks in the Andaman Sea.

Plus April is Songkran month! In Phuket, Songkran is a public holiday from 13th - 15th, with the main festival day being the 13th. People will visit their local temple and then it's a full day of water throwing.

The weather has been hot and sunny the last few days. Very hot. A few heavy showers too with a bit of thunder thrown in. All that heat has to go somewhere and sudden isolated thunderstorms are not uncommon. They are very isolated...
