What June feels like in Phuket
June falls in Phuket's wet season — the rainfall numbers rise clearly above the dry months. Afternoons are hot, so sightseeing works best in the morning or evening. Evenings ease the heat only slightly, and nights remain very warm. High humidity makes the heat feel heavier and sticky, especially on still afternoons.
Rain in Phuket in June
June is persistently wet here: some rain falls on most days. Rainy days are intense, averaging about 10.5 mm (0.4 in) — downpours rather than drizzle. The yearly figure is similar, around 9.2 mm per wet day.
Daylight and sunshine in June

Close to the equator, sunrise and sunset times move very little through the year. The sun is out for roughly 75% of those daylight hours, so there are plenty of bright spells.
