Question

Which app is best for checking the weather forecast in Phuket?

Insider's Response

Some of the services we are used to do not show Phuket weather very accurately. We recommend using these apps:

Windy. It shows the most up-to-date weather forecast: temperature, precipitation, wind strength, and even wave height and direction (useful in the rainy season). The app also has satellite cloud images, storm and typhoon alerts, and if you surf, Windy is a must-have.

● Tides. There are beaches in Phuket with strong tidal changes (descriptions of the island’s beaches can be found here). Before you go, it’s best to check the shoreline conditions because on some beaches you can only swim during high tide. We talked about beaches without waves in the low season here.
