Phnom Penh Weather in April

The tropical monsoon climate makes Cambodia hot and humid, but it doesn't stop travellers from visiting its landscapes. Any time of the year is suitable for visitors, but there's nothing wrong with trying to figure out the best time to pack your back.  

Let's see how Phnom Penh weather April is and set up your plan.

Is April a best time to visit Phnom Penh?

The perfect time you can choose to visit Phnom Penh is from November to April. It's the time when visitors can experience less rain and enjoy the clear blue sky. 

The weather in Cambodia doesn't change so much during the year, except for the rain level. That's why it has two seasons: dry and rainy. 

Apart from the best period mentioned above, the weather for the rest of the year also shouldn't deter you from travelling. The lush green scenery and quiet temples are good sources of enjoyment. 

The general landscape is golden brown, lying down under the hot air and breeze all day. The high peak temperature will be in the middle of the day, so people tend to avoid the scorching atmosphere in air-conditioned rooms during the day. However, the sightseeing activities can still be conducted in the early morning and late afternoon.
