The dry season lasts from December to March which causes a slight drop on temperature. This is the height of the tourist season.
Beginning in April and lasting to the end of May, there is a Transition Season which is a short time period of unpredictability as the monsoon winds change and the temperatures rise. Vice versa, there is another Transition Season (October through the end of November) when the unpredictability of rains and temperature is due to the changing winds and change of seasons.
The rainy season lasts from June until October and is the time in which a majority Phuket's 100in of rainfall is accumulated. This time is humid, hot and wet and is less popular as a tourist destination because of this.
