Chiang Mai - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Mid-Feb through May: Hooooot!!!! Blazing sun, no rain, temps are generally in the mid to high 90s by the afternoon. Although, unlike Bangkok, it does get cooler in the evening and overnight making it more comfortable to sleep and allowing you to enjoy walks in the early morning or late evening. Jun-Oct: Rainy and humid. It does a torrential downpour twice a day during this time, but there can be days where it rains almost all day and many days are cloudy all day. Nice because it is cooler than the hot season, but very muggy and lots and lots of mosquitoes. Oct-mid-November: Rain lets up and it's a mix between cloudy and sunny days. Temps are like mid-to high 80s and still pretty humid Mid-Nov through mid-Feb: Gorgeous, cool weather with lows in the 60s and highs in the low 80s. Relatively low humidity and sunny and beautiful. Spend everyday outdoors during this time if you can! - Mar 2019
