Cambodia in January experiences the dry season’s peak. This period typically offers sunshine, low humidity, and minimal rainfall, creating favorable conditions across the country. Temperatures are generally comfortable, averaging between the mid-70s and mid-80s Fahrenheit (mid-20s to low 30s Celsius), making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploration.
These pleasant weather patterns contribute significantly to Cambodia’s tourism peak during this month. The clear skies offer excellent visibility for viewing ancient temples like Angkor Wat and enjoying the beaches of the southern coast. The dry conditions also make trekking and cycling more accessible and comfortable. This optimal climate has historically drawn visitors and shaped the country’s tourism infrastructure and seasonal economic activity.
