El Nino Watch

Exit signal: wind gusts

Forecast maximum wind gusts on Samui, today and the next 2 days.

Koh Samui watch

Daily maximum gust from the Open-Meteo forecast (km/h).

Limits. Gusts are model values; squalls in thunderstorms can be stronger and are not forecast precisely.

How to read it

Below 62 km/h: ok (gusts of 45-60 km/h are routine in the monsoons). 62 to 75 km/h (gale, Beaufort 8): caution. 75 km/h or more (strong gale, Beaufort 9): blocked.

Why it matters for Koh Samui

Strong wind builds the sea quickly and can also close the airport.
