One of the Thai resorts, which is often chosen by tourists from Russia, is the province of Phuket. It is located in the southern part of the country and is an invariable choice of hundreds, maybe thousands of vacationers from all over the world. Autumn has already arrived, not far off its last month, and some have not had time to rest this year. For those who plan to spend their holidays in Thailand, today we will tell you what Phuket is in November, and whether it is worth flying there at all times.

However, it is important to know that in October-November, rainfall, thunderstorms and cloudy weather are still possible in Phuket province.
The time is approaching the high season, so with each November day the weather is more and more suitable for recreation. This is expressed not by an increase in temperature, but, on the contrary, by a decrease. It becomes not so hot and stuffy, so the rest is much more pleasant.
Along with this, prices for trips are increasing and the number of tourists on the beaches of Phuket province is increasing. In November, water in the sea gradually becomes more transparent, and the chance of a storm or the appearance of large waves is much lower.
Average air and water temperature
During the month, the daily air temperature ranges from 28-31 degrees heat. At night, it is expected + 23 ° C - + 27 ° C. The water temperature in the Andaman Sea is almost always +28 degrees, but can vary between + 27 ° C - + 30 ° C.
