Best time to visit Cambodia

Cambodia and southern Vietnam have fairly similar seasonality. The country knows basically two seasons: the rainy season from May to October and the dry season from November to April.

The rainy season is characterized mainly by the heat (up to 35-40 ° C) and humidity. The rains are regular, often late in the day. They are strong but short. The first months of the rainy season are the hottest of the year.

The dry season is characterized by the absence of rain, sunshine and pleasant temperatures (25-30 ° C). The main drawback of this period is the low level of rivers and Lake Tonle Sap making some boat journeys impractical.

In summary, the climate is warm all year round, but the dry season is more enjoyable. The best time to visit Cambodia is between November and March. The worst time is between April and June, when the heat and humidity reach the highest level.
