Kho Khao Beach: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, July 22, 2026
Today offers a rather mixed experience for a trip to the beach, with conditions proving less than ideal for a full day of lounging. You should be prepared for light, persistent drizzle throughout your visit, which may dampen your plans. Despite the clouds, the sun remains quite strong, and with a UV Index of 8.8, you must prioritize high-factor protection to avoid skin damage. Temperatures will reach a hot 34.2 °C, while the water is exceptionally warm at 32.1 °C. Because the sea is remarkably mild, it is pleasant for a refreshing dip, and the water remains calm with very little movement. While the breeze is moderate, the occasional stronger pulse of air might be noticeable. Please keep an eye on the sky and stay close to shelter due to the intermittent rain.
