Chiang Mai in June
Not the best time
Low season pricing kicks in as daily downpours keep many tourists away. The rain cools things down from the April heat, but constant humidity and flooding make getting around challenging.
Weather
Rainy season begins in earnest with daily temperatures around 33°C and muggy 24°C nights. Heavy downpours hit most afternoons, often lasting 2-3 hours. Humidity soars to uncomfortable levels.

All Months
November through March is peak season for good reason – temperatures hover around 25-30°C and rain stays away. December and January get busy with European winter escapees, so book accommodations early. The cool season mornings are perfect for temple visits before the heat kicks in. March brings the burning season – farmers clear fields and the air quality plummets. Avoid if you have respiratory issues. April hits 40°C regularly and feels like breathing through a hair dryer. The rainy season (May-October) means afternoon downpours, but also fewer crowds and better hotel rates.
