How hot is it in Thailand during October?
Expect heat in Thailand during October. The temperature hits about 31℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 24℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. There's a good chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Thailand during October?

How warm is the sea in Thailand during October?

The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
