During the monitoring period, the harvest of the main rice crop in Thailand was completed, while the planting of the second rice crop started in early January. According to CropWatch indicators, radiation was below average (RADPAR, -7%) and temperature was just average, while rainfall (RAIN, +82%) was significantly above the seasonal norm. On the national level, crop condition was above average, which is confirmed by an increase of BIOMSS by 38%. Similar to the agroclimatic indicators for the national level, RAIN and BIOMSS in the single as well as double and triple-cropped rice, horticulture, and mountain areas are above average, while radiation was below average.

Nationwide, from October to December, crop condition was close to the five-year average, while in January—according to NDVI—condition was above. As shown by the NDVI profiles, more than half the crop areas (blue and bright green) in Thailand (areas located in the northeast, center, west and east) experienced above average condition. Other areas, accounting for 28.4% of the total agricultural land and located mostly in the northeast, began with below average condition, which subsequently improved to above average crop condition in January. At the end of January, crop condition was below average (and thus unfavorable) in only 3.5% of  croplands, situated mostly in the center-west, centered around Chainat, and in the south, in East Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Overall, crop condition in Thailand is favorable.
