Map Tropical Cambodia, Cambodia is situated in Southeast Asia in the tropical zone, only 10-13 degrees north off the equator. Like the greater part of Southeast Asia, Cambodia is warm to hot year round and the climate is ruled by the yearly rainstorm cycle with its exchanging wet and dry seasons. The rainstorm cycle is driven by cyclic gaseous tension changes over focal Asia. As the weight drops amid the mid year months (June through October), damp air is drawn landward from the sea conveying the southwest rainstorm downpours to Cambodia and a lot of Southeast Asia. Come the winter months (November through May), the pneumatic force over focal Asia rises, driving cool dry air back crosswise over Southeast Asia and bringing on a generally rainless dry season to Cambodia. The mean every day temperature additionally rises and falls with the winter and summer months, however not precisely in time with the wet and dry season, successfully making four yearly seasons in Cambodia....
1) November-February: Cool and dry. Normal early afternoon temperatures in the mid 20s, at some point plunging beneath 20 around evening time. The rainstorm downpours trail off through October and November, and have generally ceased totally by mid November. These months - November through February - are by and large thought to be the best time of year to visit, with December and January offering the absolute best weather of the year the nation over - serenely warm days, clear skies, no downpour, light breeze, cool nights. Perfect shoreline weather in Sihanoukville. An agreeable time of year to visit the sanctuaries close Siem Harvest. Temperatures start to crawl up a touch through February and there are incidental, short 'mango showers' toward the evening.
2) Walk Might: Hot and dry. The dry season proceeds with, the main precipitation being short 'mango showers' in the evenings that gradually increment in recurrence and force as the months progressed. Amid these months stream and lake levels are low, by and large making vessel/waterway ship travel substantially more troublesome, less solid and can enormously expand voyages times significantly. Then again, street travel (transport, taxi, cruiser) is much less demanding and more solid for absence of stormy season flooding. The temperature gradually ascends through February and Walk, cresting out in April and May before the rainstorm start. February and Walk are still agreeable however by April late morning temperatures can float in the mid to upper 30s, particularly in inland ranges like Siem Harvest. It is less windy as of now of year, the sun can be entirely serious and the air gets to be hazier with the rising stickiness. In spite of the fact that occasionally entirely hot, the absence of downpour still leaves this a decent time of year to visit the sanctuaries or the shoreline.
3) June-August: Hot and wet. The hot season proceeds with however is decently fast directed as the storm downpours start in May and June, cooling, if just a bit, the hot, damp air. Crosswise over the greater part of the nation, the storm downpours are genuinely unsurprising, generally happening toward the evening or around evening time. Also, the evening rains typically last close to two or three hours making them genuinely simple to arrange around, particularly in the event that you are going to the sanctuaries or visiting. Indeed, the Angkor sanctuaries are taking care of business amid the wet season. The encompassing canals and reflecting pools are full, the wilderness is lavish and dampness bring outs the shades of the greenery and lichen secured stones of the sanctuaries. Vessel travel gets to be simpler and more solid as the season advances and the stream and lake levels rise, yet a few streets some of the time fall apart or turn out to be incidentally overwhelmed. The example of storm downpours tends too be distinctive along the coast and the shoreline towns, where the downpours are more incessant and, when the season is at its top, may keep going for quite a long time at once, however, dissimilar to whatever is left of the nation, the downpour on the coast may stop for a considerable length of time at once too.
4) September-Early November: Cool and wet. The air doesn't generally start to cool much until October or November, yet at the same time, its cooler than the most sultry months. In September the temperatures drift in the mid 30s and gradually drop through the next months. By October, the late morning temperatures are around 30. In September the blustery season is simply passing its top. The downpours are still extremely standard and serious in September, yet by October the recurrence is typically dropping off extensively. Before the end of October the downpours are near halting totally, in the event that they haven't as of now. As the downpours end through October, the best time of year to visit Cambodia starts.
The Blustery Season
Numerous voyagers naturally attempt to abstain from going to Southeast Asia amid the 'rainstorm season, accepting that the downpours will ruin the visit. There are evident drawbacks to going to amid the blustery season, however by and by its my most loved time of year in Cambodia.
Amid the blustery season the sanctuaries of Angkor are at their most excellent and generally photogenic. The reflecting pools and channels are full, the vegetation is dark green and the wet stone of the sanctuaries is at its generally beautiful. Likewise of photographic note, the downpour washed quality of the wet season is especially clear when contrasted with the dim, smoky skies of the dry season, making those long shots of the sanctuaries and rice paddies that much clearer. (On the off chance that you generally needed that shot of from the highest point of Phnom Bakheng of the removed Angkor Wat in the wilderness lit up the light of nightfall, this is the best time of year to bring your 400mm lens and try it out.) Outside the urban areas, the rice paddies are brimming with water and green with new rice, the wilderness is rich and the wide open is beautiful and bursting at the seams with developing season action. The stream and lake levels are high making watercraft travel simple. (It's the best time of year to take the vessel from Siem Harvest to Battambang, supposedly a standout amongst the most beautiful pontoon trips in Cambodia.)
It must be said that there are less vacationers in the nation. The sanctuaries are less swarmed, costs are lower and the bars and eateries are all upbeat to see you. What's more, for all intents and purposes, it doesn't rain the majority of the time or even each day amid the stormy season. When it rains it normally begins around 2:00PM or 3:00PM and keeps going a few hours, making it simple to arrange around by and large. Around the starting and the end of the season the downpours happen with far less recurrence.
