What's the weather like in Phu Quoc in August — is it rainy season?

Based on past years' experience, weather can't be guaranteed, but from April to mid-August there's been very little rain — nothing like the previous year. Forecasts predicted a sunless August, but the sun has been out almost every day.

Weather is quite unpredictable: forecasts often don't match reality, and the sun can come out at any moment even when rain is predicted.

Even on cloudy days the island stays quite bright, sun is felt through the clouds — not a dealbreaker for beach time.

The first 9 days of August were sunny, people were even swimming on the island's west coast. Then came a couple of days with variable cloudiness and light rain.
