Cool Season:
The northeast monsoon comes from Central Asia and usually blows from November to February, bringing
relatively cool, dry conditions to the country.

Hot Season:
Between the 2 monsoons, March to May, the land heats up creating an area of low pressure. Eventually the
high pressure over the Indian Ocean moves inland and the monsoon cycle begins again. The word monsoon
comes from the Arabic maws in or season. It refers to South Asia’s seasonal winds (not the heavy rains).
In Thailand, the southwest monsoon is the rainy season; the northeast monsoon is dry or cool season.
Temperature change is rather minor between the seasons.
