What is the weather like in Cambodia
As with its neighbors, Cambodia has a tropical monsoon climate. Three distinct seasons—the cool season, the hot season, and the rainy season—can be distinguished in the nation.
I/ Cool Season (November to February):
In Cambodia, the chilly season is thought to be the best time to travel. 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F) is the comfortable temperature range for outdoor activities and touring. Additionally, there is less humidity and rain during this time. The best time to visit famous places in Cambodia including Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh is now.
II/ Hot Season (March to May):
heavy temperatures and heavy humidity are characteristics of Cambodia’s hot season. Temperatures can frequently exceed 35°C (95°F) and, in some places, even approach 40°C (104°F). Due to the extreme heat, outdoor activities might be extremely difficult during this time. However, coastal regions with sea breezes, such as Sihanoukville and the islands, might provide some relief.
III/ Rainy Season (June to October):
In Cambodia, the rainy season is marked by frequent rainfall, frequently in the form of brief but strong showers. There is a chance of sporadic storms throughout this time, and the humidity is still very high. Even though it rains, the countryside grows lush and green, adding a certain appeal. Although travel plans are often not greatly hampered by rain, it is still a good idea to check weather forecasts and be ready for unforeseen delays.
The best time to travel to Cambodia is typically considered to be during the cool season (November to February), when the temperature is mild and comfortable. However, the shoulder seasons of October and March-April can also be decent choices if you don’t mind the heat and wish to avoid crowds. Although there may be less people and more peace and quiet during the rainy season, be aware of the possibility of precipitation and make your travel plans accordingly.
