My advice
What the numbers don't say about Koh Kood
Koh Kood shares the very wet climate of Trat province, whose station is shown here. From November to April it is one of the calmest islands in Thailand, with clear water. From June to September heavy rain and swell cut some boat links and many resorts close: check before booking.
Where these figures come from
Monthly averages over 1991–2020 from the Trat weather station of the Thai Meteorological Department, as published in the World Meteorological Organization climate normals. They describe a typical year, not a forecast: a given year can be wetter or drier.
There is no official weather station in Koh Kood itself, so these are the figures of the nearest station, Trat. Local conditions can differ slightly.
