The big storm that marked the middle of June didn’t last long, just a few more days of rain. The second half of June saw some unpredictable weather along with a noticeable rise in humidity.
Ending June, Khao Lak had a reminder of high season weather patterns. Blue skies, just a few clouds and some warm sunshine. Andaman Sea conditions remained rough throughout June.
The rest of the week saw plenty of cloud cover but only scattered showers here and there. With mostly cloudy skies the humidity was a lot higher than in previous weeks. Temperatures did not actually rise over 32°C.
As predicted the weather deteriorated over the weekend 21st to 22nd June. Saturday started mostly cloudy. It had rained already during the night and the air felt hot and humid even at 9:00am in the morning. The wind picked up around 11:00am and it started raining soon after, a heavy drizzle rather than an exciting tropical storm. Sunday started bleakly, with wind, rain and dark low cloud cover. It rained on and off all day, not really an ideal day off for most Khao Lak residents.
Last week in June and the Weather gets better
The last week of June started as the week had ended, wet mornings, mostly cloudy skies and high humidity. On Tuesday 24th June the temperature had soared to 28°C by 7:00am, much warmer than usual for the early hours. The forecast was not looking good, but by Wednesday afternoon the clouds began to clear and the day ended bright and sunny.
For the rest of the week Khao Lak enjoyed weather more reminiscent of the high season. Waking up in the mornings the clouds were much higher than usual. Midday saw bright blue skies, just a few clouds and a very slight breeze blowing in from the sea. The blue skies continued into the weekend, though late afternoon did see some darker clouds blowing in from the Andaman Sea.
Sunday started with some rain in the morning, with heavy rain around 11:00am. This did not last long and although the rest of the day was mostly cloudy, the rains held off. Just before sunset there were blue skies to the west again.
The 30th June 2014 saw more blue skies and no rain, a much more positive end to the month than the previous weeks of rain and storms.
