Cambodia's weather is primarily determined by the wet and dry season. From about May to September the rainy season arrives with the winds from the southwest. The dry season takes place from about November to March, with the coast having a shorter dry season and inland having a longer period without substantial rain. The wet season is generally more humid and the months between dry and wet tend to also experience changes in humidity more than anything else. Throughout the year temperatures are fairly consistent as the average high is about 90° F (32° C) during the hot months of April to September and average daily lows are about 60° F (16° C) during the colder months of December to February. Most days year round are in the 75-90° F (24-32° C) range.
Wildlife
Monkeys
Cambodia is home to a number of animal species with good diversity from one group to the next. Some of the mammals in the country are tigers, deer, buffaloes, elephants, ox, panthers, bears, and monkeys. The sea life is even more diverse as the country is home to hundreds of fresh water fish and nearly as many salt water fish in the nearby sea. Among these are carp, trout, tuna, mackerel, squid, shrimp, lobster, oysters, and crab.
There are also many birds in the country from season to season, including cormorants, cranes, ibises, parrots, pheasants, and ducks. Among the many reptilian and amphibian species are various snakes, crocodiles, and turtles.
