The climate of Udon Thani (Thailand)
Udon Thani is a city in the north eastern part of Thailand and is the
capital of the Udon Thani province. During the Vietnam War many
American soldiers were stationed here. The city of Udon Thani and its
surroundings are famous for the many colourful and sweet-smelling
orchids that originate from this place. Just outside the city the
archaeological site of Ban Chiang can be found. At this site the most
important prehistoric culture can be found together with evidence for
the use of bronze items. Ban Chiang was put on the world heritage list
by UNESCO.
Udon Thani has a tropical savannah climate. This climate can be
divided into two seasons; a wet season and a relatively dry season.
During the rainy period that starts in May and lasts till October much
rain falls. The best period to visit Udon Thani is the dry period.
Temperatures are a little lower and rainfall is much less. Although
Udon Thani is located in the interior tropical storms and hurricanes
may occur. These natural phenomena happen very seldom, but its better
to be safe than sorry.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
