March Weather and Diving

March 2023 - 2022 - 2021 - 2020 - 2019 - 2018 - 2017 - 2016 - 2015 - 2014 - 2013

Unlike nearly all previous years nut just as in 2022 we experienced quite a few windy days in March 2023. But like most previous years and unlike 2022 it was hot and sunny on an almost continous basis. We had 27 really sunny days and 3 partially sunny, so not much cloudcover, on only 1 of those a bit of rain during the day. We did have 1 overcast day, also on that day some rain. Sunwise March 2023 was a regular March.

But as mentioned the wind was stronger than usual.
In March 2011 we had highly unusual five days where we were limited in dive destinations and two days where there was no diving possible at all of the normal destinations. March 2012 was in this respect back to normal, with 2 days no diving at our housereef in Kata possible and on 1 day the wind was too strong for diving at Racha Noi and Richelieu Rock. In 2013 we could dive at all destinations every day of the week, in 2014 on 2 days no diving at Richelieu Rock and in 2015, 2016 and 2017 on 1 day no diving in the Shark Point area or at Richelieu Rock. In 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 we could dive at all destinations on all days. However due to the Covid 19 problems there were not many people around especially in 2021, improving diving conditions even further. In 2020 authorities banned all diving activities, first from the boat, later also from the beaches, so for quite a few days there was no diving at all possible. In 2022 on 4 days we could not dive at Kata Beach, and on a few more days diving was possible but not very nice. This year on 4 days we could not safely dive in the King Cruiser-Shark Point area and also not at Kata Beach.
