In northern Thailand the seasons are quite distinct, due to its latitude and geography although as with the rest of the globe, things have been a little unusual. Between November and May the weathertends to be dry, however this is broken up into the periods November to February and March to May. The last of these periods has higher relative temperatures even lthough the northeast monsoon does not directly effect the northern area of Thailand, it can cause cooling breezes from November to February.

The other season to the North of the country is from May to November and is well recognised by the southwest monsoon, during which rainfall is at its heaviest.
