In comparison to [[Phuket]] and most of the rest of southern Thailand, Samui's weather is relatively drier (Samui receives about {{cvt|1,960.|mm}} rain per year, and Phuket gets {{convert|2,220|mm|0|abbr=on}}). Phuket's [[wet season]] is spread over six to eight months. Ko Samui has only two months with more than {{convert|212|mm|0|abbr=on}} of rain.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} The heaviest precipitation typically falls in the time frame from mid October to early December.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.travelfish.org/weather_fish.php |title=Weather in Thailand |publisher=Travelfish.org |access-date=2013-11-15}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=March 2024}} For the rest of the year, given the tropical climate, rain showers are brief; 20–60 minutes duration is typical.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}
