PDFCambodia is said to have 2 seasons: the wet and the dry. Both live up to their name in terms of weather, but a more accurate description of the seasons might be “The Wet Season and The Wedding Season“. As monsoon rains abate in November, Khmer brides and grooms take the plunge with elaborate traditional 3 day ceremonies beneath colourful tents that seemingly spring up outside bride’s houses the very moment the rains end.
The December-March period is also the busiest time in the tourist calendar, with the weather being more suitable for those not used to 35°C days at 99% humidity! Late December and January nights become cool (down to a chilly 23°C!), and rain is scarce for much of the season, making it an opportune time to witness a crisp, clear sun rise over Angkor Wat, and to travel to the far reaches of the country which are literally waterlogged throughout the wet season.
