Chiang Mai Weather &
Climate |
| |
|
Chiang Mai has a tropical climate, but is
cooler and less humid than elsewhere in Thailand.
Chiang Mai experiences monsoons. The south-west
monsoon arrives from India at the end of May
and lasts through until November, with the
heaviest downpours being experienced in September.
Rain usually occurs in the late afternoon.
Between November and May cool air blows in
from China and northern Vietnam, bringing
a dry season with mild days and balmy nights.
Temperatures are at their lowest in December/January,
and it is chilly enough to require a warm
jacket. |

So
what is the best time of year to come to Chiang
Mai? |
| |
| Chiang Mai is now an internationally
renowned city and is buzzing all year round with
local life and foreign tourists whatever the weather.
The optimum time to come is definitely the cool
dry months between November and February. However
the rainy season need not spoil a trip here. Rain
in the wet season is usually confined to a couple
of heavy showers a day rather that prolonged continuous
rainfall. The visitor just needs to be prepared
to take shelter for half an hour or so while the
rain falls. |
