Weather

Weather in the region is typically 'tropical monsoon' - there are only two seasons: the hot season from January to April, and the rainy season from May to December. Monsoon winds, which change according to season, blow from the southeast, the southwest, and the northeast. Temperatures during the year range from 16.9ºC (62ºF) to 37.3ºC (99ºF) and the yearly rainfall averages 2568.5mm (101in). During the wet season, rain drenches Ko Lanta and the tide washes right up to the front of the resorts, bringing plenty of driftwood and rubbish with it. Only a few resorts remain open during this time.
