Cambodia’s climate is
tropical, so there may be a number of rains throughout
the south-west monsoon season. Rain is an opportunity at
any time from May to November, but the critical rain
falls in September and October. The wind that brings the
rain reverses all through the winter to create a ‘dry’,
or more accurately, a drier season from December to
April - the one months which are nearly rain-unfastened
are January and February.
Temperature and humidity
There's little seasonal
temperature model, simplest approximately 6ËšC, however
each temperatures and rainfall decline the further
inland you travel. Humidity varies quite a little,
averaging between 70% and 80%, but reasonably decreases
in the Ton Le Sap basin.
Rainfall
The volume of rainfall
will increase with altitude, reaching a peak around
5,000cm at the southeast mountains and the slopes of the
animate mountain range within the south west. In lowland
areas, rainfall averages around 1,500cm in line with
annum. Between 70% and 80% of general rainfall is
carried via the south-west monsoon.
Extreme weather
Tropical cyclones, better
known as typhoons, are the only manifestation of severe
weather stipulations in Cambodia. However, they’re an
unprecedented occurrence, and rarely cause vital damage.
