September Overview

Rainfall is high throughout September. Across the country the flora and fauna is in full bloom and the moats at the Angkor Temples are full of life (avg temp: 26°C). When it rains it is usually for a few hours rather than all-day downpours, although these can also happen.

One benefit of travelling in Cambodia at this time is that the Angkor Temples will be far less crowded.

(- continued:) September Overview

On the south coast and in more rural regions, such as Ratanakiri, rainfall can be heavier and more prolonged although dry days are still expected. Due to the rain of the past few months, some more rural roads become difficult and therefore access to the more remote corners of the country can be a problem.

Pchum Ben: (26th - 28th Sept) Ancestors' Day is celebrated in the run up to the 15th day of the tenth month in the Khmer Calendar.
