The dryest time of year in Phuket is from December To April but most of the "wet season" is not too bad at all - you get heavy rain but not all the time. The advantage of the wet season is that its quieter with less tourists and you can pick up the best bargains and the flights and hotels are cheaper too.
Either way you guaranteed that it will be hot because its a tropical island.
I found this link which will show you the rainfall and temperatures:

During the rainy season it will be very much like, you might get no rain, just a few showers or it could be tropical storms, it is the low season beacause of that.
It depends if you wanted to take the risk. The best weather is December to April.
January to March is the best time. However any time is really OK.Check out our website at
