Weather Report
 No rain to speak of for 12 days or so!
Was down at Chai Chet pier today, so thought this was a better picture than the previous, and so a good excuse for making another weather update. But the weather has not really changed! There is of course still a high risk of rain at this time of year, mostly this will fall overnight, but the last 12 days have seen little, if any, rain. Little sunshine too though, with mostly heavy cloud and sometimes strong winds. One snorkeling boat is going out on most days, and snorkeling visibility will be OK in parts, but the open seas are likely to be high. We sent 8 people snorkeling today, and they had a good time. Fishermen have reported wave heights of 3 meters. A couple of dive boats will be going out, when the demand is there, and when the weather is reasonable. Closer to shore, there is a high risk of strong undertows and weak swimmers should not venture to any depth. Daytime temperatures have been around 26 degrees, and at night time the temperature falls to around 21 degrees. Do not always rely upon Qwikcast which is consistently predicting thunderstorms, even for the current day, when it is in fact dry. If you are thinking of coming to Koh Chang in the next few days, then look for yourself through our webcam for the weather as it is right now, and view the weather images page for an idea about weather on Koh Chang in the recent past.
Owing to the present good weather, our shop on the beach will now usually be open. Beach front webcam coming back soon.

Weather Report
 There is still a high risk of rain of course at this time of year, mostly overnight, but the last couple of days have seen some good sunshine mostly, as can be seen from the photo of Chai Chet. The wind is quite strong today. One snorkeling boat is going out on most days, but visibility will not be good, and the seas are likely to be high. A couple of dive boats will be going out, when the demand is there, and the weather is reasonable. Closer to shore, there is a high risk of strong undertows and weak swimmers should not venture to any depth. Just 4 days ago, Klong Prao beach, at the Chai Chet end, was covered with brown vegetation, ran off from the rivers, but today it has all cleared, and the beach looks almost pristine again. Daytime temperatures are around 27 degrees when rain is not falling. Quite cool at night time, around 20 degrees.

Weather Report
 The rains have finally arrived. The last 4 days has seem some torrential rain. This has been overnight and in the morning, generally. Afternoons have been cloudy, but dry. In this weather, you should not go into the sea. It can be very rough, close to shore, and there are sometimes very strong undertows. High seas and occasional strong winds mean boat trips are usually not running, though given a quiet spell, it is still possible to enjoy a snorkeling trip by boat to the southern islands. Daytime temperatures are around 27 degrees when not raining.
