Traveling to Cambodia in January is an excellent choice; you're likely to enjoy clear blue skies and comfortable temperatures in the upper 70s °F (mid 20s °C). Also, it is unlikely that you will encounter much rain. Typically, January's moderate weather means that Siem Reap (where Angkor Wat is located), as well as southern coastal regions including Sihanoukville, will be experiencing high tourist seasons.

Cambodia February tour packages are popular because the drier weather and cooler temperatures make for practically ideal travel conditions. Overall, temperatures will be warm and continue to increase throughout the month; expect an average of 80 °F (27 °C) in the low-lying areas. However, this is still a perfect time to explore nearby temples. Even though Tonle Sap Lake is quite deep, rainfall is rare, making February an excellent time for a trip. It is also peak tourist season for popular destinations including Cambodia's coast, where scuba diving conditions are now at their best.

Cambodia's weather in March continues to be favorable with temperatures now averaging in the mid to upper 80s °F (30 °C) and little to no rainfall expected. Yet overall, the country is starting to heat up by this time. If you plan to spend hours at Angkor Wat in the sun, you'll want to make sure to start out early, drink plenty of water, and take frequent breaks in the shade. Also, March is a popular time for trips to the beach; escape the hot temperatures with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear, turquoise waters.

If you book a Cambodia April tour package, make sure to be prepared for the heat. Average temperatures hit an approximate range of 95 to over 100 °F (mid 30s – 40 °C). Cambodia's dry season comes to an end in April, so there is slight potential for refreshing rainfall. The heat also means that the landscape looks dry; Cambodia's lush greenery will eventually return with the coming rains. However, if you visit the beautiful beaches, you'll have the chance to bask in the bright sunshine and warm waters.

When you are traveling to Cambodia in May, the temperatures will remain high and average out at the mid to upper 80s °F (about 30 °C). Cambodia's monsoon season also ushers in rains that normally extend through September. While showers are increasingly commonplace, they tend to last a few hours rather than all day. Transportation problems are unlikely and tourist crowds continue to decrease, making May a great time to travel to Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh. In addition, Cambodia's beach resorts remain popular with visitors because rain showers are short, and there are plenty of hours of sunshine each day.

Cambodia's weather in June is humid with occasional rains. These frequent showers make the days fairly comfortable, and temperatures are lower compared to the hot, dry season. Typically, the heaviest rainfall occurs in the mountains and on the southern beaches. Yet, even in the middle of the rainy season, most days still offer plenty of sunshine. A benefit of June travel is that Cambodia tends to have fewer tourists compared to previous weeks, causing prices to drop. Also, the wet season means that the country's lush, green landscape is beginning to return.

Due to heavy rain, traveling to Cambodia in July becomes slightly difficult, especially in remote mountain regions and beach destinations. While there aren't persistent daily rains, showers and thunderstorms can occur frequently in tourist destinations such as Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Average temperatures hover around 80 °F (27 °C), and the air feels even cooler when the rain falls. On the upside, Cambodia's monsoon season brings a countryside that blooms with lush vegetation, and the Angkor ruins look especially stunning. Abundant clouds, often in dazzling shades of bright white and dove gray, are scattered in the sky above Angkor Wat and make for a truly epic scene.

A Cambodia August tour package promises similar weather conditions as July. Daylong downpours are unlikely but may occur from time to time, as August is typically the peak of the wet season. The countryside is now a brilliant emerald green. You can set sail along the lake by boat to visit picturesque floating villages and forests. Due to the spectacular scenery, Cambodia in August is well-worth the trip.

A Cambodia September tour package takes place after the weeks of peak rainfall. While you'll still receive rain, benefits include fewer tourist numbers, as well as discounted prices on hotels. September is the best time to see the Angkor Temples because the clouds provide shade and protection from direct sunshine. You can also enjoy plenty of flowing water; Tonle Sap Lake is five times its size compared to the dry season. September in Cambodia offers exceptionally picturesque landscapes, so if you're passionate about photography, this is a great time to take pictures.

If you are traveling to Cambodia in October, the rain still lingers but is becoming increasingly infrequent, making this an excellent time to visit. Temperatures average 80 °F (27 °C) -- perfectly comfortable for your Cambodia journey. The month's milder weather also marks the start of the busy season for tourists. Highlights of October Cambodia tours include the waterfalls in the north and east, which are now at their best. City life in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap also returns to normal after the summer's cleansing rains. Whether you prefer buzzing urban centers or the charming countryside, October is an excellent time to visit any part of Cambodia.

Booking a Cambodia November tour package means that rains are unlikely. This also marks the start of the best season to visit the country, which extends through March. In particular, the Angkor Temples attract significant crowds from November onward and Cambodian Water Festival takes place in this month, so you'll want to plan ahead and book your tour well in advance. Better still, no Cambodian region experiences major climatic problems in November. Average temperatures tend to stay in the upper 70s °F (25 °C), and northeast winds dry the country. Water levels remain high, so relaxing Mekong River cruises are among the most popular vacation activities.

Traveling to Cambodia in December, whether for a holiday vacation or otherwise, offers tourists a comfortably dry climate and clear skies. Both December and January also tend to be Cambodia's coolest months. You can plan a long, uninterrupted day at popular destinations such as Angkor Wat and enjoy refreshing temperatures around 68 °F (20 °C). If you have a thirst for adventure and seek to try trekking or scuba diving, or if you wish to relax on Sihanoukville's beautiful beaches, you'll meet with practically perfect conditions. December is in the middle of Cambodia's peak travel season and tends to be one of its busiest months all year, so make sure to book tours and accommodations well in advance.
