What do I need to know?
Battambang Climate;
Cambodia has a tropical monsoon climate. During the rainy season between mid-April and mid-October the Mekong swells and backs into the Tonle Sap (Great Lake), increasing the size of the lake almost threefold. Between November and April winds are less strong and there are higher temperatures (up to 35o C). General information about the climate:
Rainy season: June - October (<31o C)
- Cool season: November- February (>26o C)
- Hot season: March- May : Temperature: from 28o C -35o C
The dry season covers the remaining four months. The city averages approximately 1500 mm of rainfall per year. It will be good to take a daypack, a wide brimmed hat, sunscreen (at least SPF15), a reliable insect repellent, a camera and lots of batteries.
