The temperature slowly rises through February and March, peaking out in April and May (upper 30oC) before the monsoons begins.

Hot and wet season from June-August

In fact, the Angkor temples are at their best aesthetics during the wet season. Boat travel becomes easier and more reliable as the river and lake levels rise, but as the wet season progresses, some roads sometimes deteriorate or become inundated.

Cool and wet season from September-October
