Seasons in Thailand:

 

 From the meteorological point of view, the climate of Thailand may be divided into 

three seasons as follows :

 

Rainy or southwest monsoon season (mid-May to mid-October). The southwest monsoon prevails over Thailand, and abundant rain occurs over the country. The wettest period of the year is August to September. The exception is found in the Southern Thailand East Coast where abundant rainfall remains until the end of the year that is the beginning period of the northeast monsoon and November is the wettest month. 

Winter or northeast monsoon season (mid-October to mid-February). is the mild period of the year with quite cold in December and January in upper Thailand. Still, there is a significant amount of rainfall in Southern Thailand East Coast, especially during October to November.  

Summer or pre-monsoon season, mid-February to mid-May. This is the transitional period from the northeast to southwest monsoons. The weather becomes warmer, especially in upper Thailand. April is the hottest month.
