Mae Sot sits in Thailand’s mountainous north, where a cooler climate and more clearly defined dry season (roughly November through February) give way to a monsoon-driven wet season from May through October.
On the Myanmar border in Tak province, the city’s Moei River forms part of the international boundary and responds to monsoon rainfall on both sides. Steep valleys throughout the region mean heavy rain can raise mountain streams very quickly, and northern Thailand has experienced serious flash flooding and landslides during intense monsoon storms, making radar an important tool for spotting a developing storm cell before it reaches lower-lying towns.
