When to go to Cambodia?
The climate of Cambodia is tropical with hot temperatures all year round and two highly distinct seasons : the rain season from May to October and the dry season from November to the end of April. The maximum temperatures vary between 86°F in December and 95°F in April. It is therefore very hot all year round even during the monsoon.
In Cambodia, the climate is characterised by two seasons:
the rain season or monsoon, which runs from May to October, is to be avoided if you are considering a trip to Cambodia. Rain during this time is quite heavy, but only lasts for a short time and largely occurs in the afternoons. This intense rain is often accompanied by strong winds, especially between July and September. Maximum temperatures are between 89°F and 95°F. It is not a recommended time to visit the country as the heat and strong humidity make the air hard to endure.
After the rain, the dry season moves in from November to April. Rain during this time is a lot more uncommon and temperatures cool down slightly, particularly in December and January. Maximum temperatures nevertheless reach the 86°F mark and it is in April that it is hottest with average maximum temperatures at around the 95°F mark. This is the best time to explore the country.
For swimming in Cambodia, the sea temperature around the beaches of Sihanoukville is very warm all year round. It varies from 82°F in January to 86°F in June.
The best season to explore Cambodia is in the months from November to March during the dry season. It is worth noting that there is a small preference for the months of January and February as these are the months in which it is slightly less hot and during which the weather is drier.
