Sakon Seasons

Inquiry:

From what I can tell, there seems to be three seasons: 

hot and humid; very hot and humid; and bring your snorkel. Is that about right?

At the moment we are experiencing the cool season.
It's generally from late December until early February.
Night time temperatures in the teens C.

The strongest recorded La Nino this year seems to have caused a somewhat extended cool season.

This is an ideal time to grow vegetables which can not survive the extreme heat or rain at other times of the year.

January, February, March sometimes has  a rainy period similar to April showers.
When this rainy period occurs it allows planting of a second rice crop.

In March, the hot season arrives, followed by the rainy season, around mid June.
Generally it's not a continuous rain.  It comes in half hour to hour long tropical bursts.
After that the sun shines and causes high humidity.

The worst rainy season I've experienced here in town was August 2008

The rainy season generally ends late September, early October.  The humid season begins.
Drought conditions have been forecast for 2011
