About Cambodia

Hello, this is Margaret and from now on I am going to give a weekly report about Cambodia.

Climate

Being located in the tropical zone north of the equator, Cambodia has a monsoon climate. Monsoon season runs May - November, stretching from November/December - April. Immediately after the monsoon, the blanketing green of the countryside can be stunningly beautiful. In the north, winters are generally colder, while throughout most of the country temperatures remain fairly constant. The average year-round temperature in Cambodia is 27.7C (the highest monthly average being 35C, the lowest monthly average being 21C). There is often seasonal flooding in Phnom Penh and the rest of Cambodia in late July and early August. At the peak of the wet season it can rain as often as two in every three days.

Thank you
