Best Bet

Cambodia's best months for visitors are from November to February, with the weather at its most comfortable.

Things to consider and possibly avoid

• Cambodia's wet season is from May to September

• April is usually the hottest month of the year, when temperatures start to climb to 40 °C (104 °F). It's called dry season, but the humidity makes it feel hotter than whatever the weather report says. During April and May in Cambodia, the heat can accurately be described as oppressive.
