The Cambodian climate can be divided into three seasons: the cool, hot, and rainy season. The cool season from November to February is a good time to visit with comfortable temperatures for travelling. During the hot season from March to May temperatures can reach 40°C; the temples at Angkor, on their plateau, can feel particularly warm. The wet season runs from around June to October, but with rains usually only lasting an hour or two in the afternoon, this leaves the rest of the day free to explore.
