Chiang Mai does not experience too many variations between day and night time temperatures. Due to its higher elevation, the city's weather can be quite unpredictable at times.

During this period, temperatures range between 17ºC and 36ºC. During the daytime, the average temperature is around the 30º Celsius mark. April is the hottest month in the region.

By the end of March, the surrounding valley becomes hazy and the rainy season sets in. Sometimes, short and violent storms bring in winds and rains that provide a relief from the dryness. The rainy season lasts between June and October. In this season, the average daytime temperature is about 25ºC, with September being the wettest month. The afternoons experience short and intense rainstorms that get cleared by the evening.
