The Climate in Cambodia

We continue to learn more about Cambodia, so we thought we would share some more interesting facts. Today's search taught us more about the climate of this country.

Cambodia is a tropical climate which is warm and humid. There are three main seasons:

-          Cool Season: November-March (22*-28* C or 72* to 82 * F)

-          Hot Season: March -  May (28* -  38* C or 82* to 100 * F)

-          Rainy Season – May- October (24*- 32* C or 75* to 90 * F, with humidity up to 90%)

The city temperatures range from about 22* to 38* C.  The heaviest rainfall is September and October, with the driest period in January and February. The weather has been very pleasant, with no rain, and temperatures have been comfortable. We are amazed at how many we have heard complain that it is cold. We see people wearing their heavy jackets, gloves and hats, along with their face masks.  Today's temperature is 33* c (91* F). We took a walk after lunch and were quite comfortable. We don't expect to be cold today!

We continue to have plenty to work on as we go through the our day at the office. A large part of today was spent working on a PowerPoint presentation that Sameth has to give next week.  We also looked at another apartment near the Service Center, it was not as good as the one yesterday, so we are still not sure if we will move or not.
