The best time to visit Cambodia is from November to February when the weather is cooler and dry, with comfortable temperatures and clear skies ideal for exploring temples and outdoor activities. March and April are the hottest months, with temperatures sometimes exceeding 40°C (104°F).
The wet season brings afternoon thunderstorms that typically last one to two hours, leaving mornings and evenings clear for sightseeing. While some travelers avoid this period, the countryside turns lush green and Angkor's moats fill dramatically. The Tonle Sap lake reaches its peak during September and October, offering unique opportunities to observe traditional fishing communities.
