Khao Lak Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a suitable day for visiting Khao Lak Beach, so it is best to plan your seaside activities for another time. We are seeing active thunderstorms developing throughout the day, which makes being on the open sand dangerous. The maximum air temperature will reach 28.6 °C, and while the sea remains warm at 30.3 °C, the risk of lightning and heavy downpours should be your primary concern. Please stay indoors and avoid the water until conditions improve. If you must be outside, keep in mind that the UV Index is quite high at 8.55, which can still cause skin damage even through the thick clouds. Prioritize your safety and wait for clearer skies before heading back to the coast.
