I've been in Chiang Mai for about 3 months now; it's rained literally once. "Winter" lasted for maybe 10 days, which meant evening temps in the high 50s I'd guess.

The only real gotcha is now, when the "burning season" begins. Farmers across the north of India and SE Asia start torching previous season's fields, which leads to poor air quality. Up until February you're basically good, it's after that that you start seeing people (myself included) donning the wearable breathing masks.

Here's how things are now, just look at all that fresh air[1], you'd think the earth was a tail pipe.
