Battambang in June
Not the best time
June trades scorching heat for daily deluges. The temperature relief feels great, but constant rain disrupts outdoor plans and makes getting around tricky.
Weather
Monsoon season officially begins, bringing relief from the heat but not the humidity. Temperatures drop to a more manageable 34°C, but daily thunderstorms and heavy downpours become routine.

June Tips
- •Pack a good rain jacket and waterproof bag
- •Plan indoor alternatives for most afternoons
- •Roads can flood quickly - avoid low-lying areas after heavy rain
All Months
November through March is prime time. Temperatures hover around 25-30°C with minimal rain and clear skies perfect for temple hopping. December and January are peak months — book accommodation early as the better guesthouses fill up. April and May turn brutal with 40°C+ heat that'll melt your enthusiasm for sightseeing. The rainy season from June to October brings afternoon downpours but fewer crowds and lush countryside. Roads to remote temples can flood, so factor that in. Early morning visits to Phnom Banan temple work best before 9am when the heat kicks in. The Pchum Ben festival in September/October brings incredible temple ceremonies but also higher prices.
