The Climate
The general climate of Thailand is tropical, it's hot everywhere, but nights can be cool or even very cool in the mountains of the North-West in winter.
The seasons in Thailand
There are two main seasons in Thailand, a dry season and a rainy season.
However, in some regions, there are 3 seasons, the rainy season, the cool season and the hot season.
The monsoon or rainy season
It runs from May to October.
It's not a monsoon like in India, depending on the region, it can be sunny for most of the day and rain only for a few hours.
However, it can also rain heavily for several days, which causes some provinces to be victims of flooding every year.
The Dry Season
It runs from November to April.
It is very hot from March to May.
It's best to avoid cities like Phitsanulok or Sukkhothai during this period.
The dry season and the rainy season are less pronounced in the south (Phuket and below).

There is a website: the weather channel that gives a health index with a rate of 1 to 6 on the state of pollution.
It would be interesting to include this in the weather forecast.
Thank you for your feedback.
Hello Gaspard,
Yes, it would be good with the current pollution, but the plugin used to provide the weather doesn't have this option yet, unfortunately.
