Best time to visit Siem Reap

Cool dry season (November to February, peak season)
During the cool dry months, temperatures usually range from 21°C to 31°C (70°F to 88°F). Lower humidity and clear skies make early morning and late afternoon temple visits especially comfortable, and this period is popular for cycling and longer days exploring Angkor.

Hot season (March to May, shoulder season)
The hot season brings higher temperatures, often between 25°C and 35°C (77°F to 95°F). Days can feel warm, but quieter temples and brighter skies create dramatic views, particularly if you plan your sightseeing for sunrise and the golden hours before dusk.

Green season (June to October, low season)
The rainy months typically see temperatures around 24°C to 32°C (75°F to 90°F), with short, intense showers and lush landscapes. Moats fill, rice fields turn vibrant green, and fewer crowds mean a calmer atmosphere at many of the major temple sites.
