Bangkok Weather

The Southeast Asian city of Bangkok is said to have a tropical climate. The Thais divide the year into three seasons that they call cool season, hot season, and rainy season. Temperatures in the city rarely drop below 25° C (70° F). The months of October until February are carefully to be convenient for tourists.

The cool season runs from December to March, although there's normally just one week in December when temperatures are honestly comfortable. Temperatures dip down to a few centigrade in these months and normal life is affected only a little.

The heat begins to increase soon after the New Year and by April or May, it can be roughly unbearably hot and humid. One of Thailand's most renowned festivals - Songkran, takes place in April and involves lots of water throwing to cool down. Temperatures are at the peak during the months of April and May, and it is very hot and sticky due to the increased sea winds. Later months of the year face a gradual fall in temperature.

The rainy season, which coincides with the European and North American summers, is characterized by heavy downpours and not so convenient for tourists. during the rainy season, there are very heavy downpours, but they commonly only last for an hour or so in the afternoon. The city annually records a maximum of 340 mm a year. Months of May and June to October contact very heavy rains. The rain cools down the high temperatures and cleans the air nicely that can be honestly relaxing after the heat. With the temperatures touching the peak, the rain is not cold. Most of the times, it can be just like a warm shower.

June to September experiences abundance of sunshine and is much cooler with the temperatures fluctuating around 24-28° C, but is the season for rain and is honestly refreshing. This has a lot of advantages like less visitors and best hotel rates. Best time to visit is from October until February when climatic characteristic ranges around 25- 28° C with light breezes and only the occasional showers.
