La mejor época para visitar Siem Reap

Verano 2026
The arrival of the southwest monsoon brings increased humidity and frequent rainfall, though temperatures remain hot, ranging from 30°C to 33°C (86°F to 91°F). Rain typically falls in the form of brief tropical downpours during the late afternoon, leaving mornings and early afternoons dry. This is an excellent off-season, with significantly lower prices and fewer crowds. The landscape transforms into a stunning lush, vibrant green, with temple moats beginning to fill, creating beautiful reflection shots of Angkor Wat. Water-based activities become highlights, such as boat tours to the floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake, which are more easily accessible as water levels rise.

Otoño 2026
September and October are typically the wettest months of the year in Siem Reap, with the highest total rainfall and cloud cover. Temperatures remain warm but are slightly tempered by the rain. While torrential downpours can occasionally cause flooding in low-lying areas, this period offers exceptional photographic opportunities due to the lush green foliage, fully watered temple moats, and striking cloud formations. This season rewards budget and adventurous travelers with the lowest hotel rates and minimal crowds. November is a crucial transition month where the rains quickly abate, leading up to the massive Water Festival in late October or November, celebrating the reversal of the Tonle Sap River's flow and marking the exciting return of the dry season.

Invierno 2026/2027
The best time to visit Siem Reap is when the temperatures are most comfortable of the year. Average temperatures range between 30°C and 32°C (86°F to 90°F), dropping to a refreshing 22°C (72°F) at night. Rainfall is minimal, humidity is low, and skies are clear, making it ideal for photography. This weather is perfect for early-morning sunrise viewings at Angkor Wat and full days of temple exploration at Angkor Thom, Bayon, and Ta Prohm. November is particularly rewarding as the landscape is still lush from the monsoon, leading into the dry, comfortable peak. Expect maximum crowds at all major sites and the highest prices for accommodation and flights during this popular period.

Primavera 2027
This is Siem Reap's hottest time of year, with average temperatures peaking around 35°C to 36°C (95°F to 97°F), often accompanied by intense humidity. During this period, travelers should carefully consider their itinerary. The countryside becomes dry and dusty, and temple stone surfaces feel like ovens at midday. It's best to schedule all major outdoor activities, such as temple tours, before dawn and retreat to air-conditioned spaces during the midday sun. The main cultural highlight is the lively Chaul Chnam Thmey in mid-April, celebrated through extensive community festivities. At the same time, visitor numbers during this period are significantly lower than in the cooler season.
