Hot dry - Chiang Mai weather during the hot season can get very hot and humid both day and night. Another problem the area encounters is a brown haze that often envelopes the city due to slash and burn agricultural that goes on in the surrounding hillsides. This makes it a rather unpleasant place to be during this time, so best to head to a beach or island to catch a sea breeze!

Wet season - In Chiang Mai, the rainy season lasts between May and October. It can get very wet at times, especially in July, August and September. However it can also be a good time to visit Ching Mai, with much less humidity and sometimes only the occasional torrential downpour. In October the monsoon starts to move away south and the temperatures start to drop a little heading into the cool season again.
