Sihanoukville in July
Not the best time
The wettest month with relentless rain limiting beach activities significantly. Only for travelers who genuinely don't mind constant downpours or those chasing the absolute cheapest prices.
Weather
July delivers peak rainy season intensity with heavy downpours almost every day. Cloud cover keeps temperatures moderate but humidity remains brutal at 90%+. Storms can last hours and flooding is common in low-lying areas.

All Months
November through April gives you the sweet spot - dry skies, steady breezes, and temperatures that don't melt your phone. December and January get busy with European winter escapees, so book ahead. March and April heat up but stay dry. The rains start in May and don't quit until October. And we're talking proper monsoon downpours, not gentle showers. Some places close completely. But if you don't mind getting soaked, accommodation prices drop by half and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself between storms.
