Cuaca Kampot di Februari

Forum posters describe February as a good time to visit Cambodia generally - somewhat cooler than the peak heat ahead but already warming up, and noticeably drier, with leaves dropping from trees and rice fields mostly harvested and dry. Posters do flag genuine dust as a byproduct of this dry stretch. Even within the broader November-February dry season, posters describe a common daily pattern of a sunny, pleasant morning giving way to more cloud by late afternoon, with a real chance of a passing shower or brief thunderstorm by evening - Cambodia's tropical climate means even the dry season isn't fully rain-free. Posters generally pair a Kep visit with nearby Kampot, treating the two coastal towns as a natural combination.

Kampot's forum, including a poster with multiple years of July/August visits, describes a consistent pattern: rain on roughly three of every four days, but concentrated as an intense downpour for an hour or two in the late afternoon or overnight, leaving mornings and early afternoons generally clear for getting out and about. One visitor did hit a genuinely wetter-than-usual stretch in late July, but the forum consensus was that these short, sharp squalls are normal for the season and not a reason to skip Kampot or nearby Kep.

Forum posters name December-January as the best weather stretch of the year here - dry, cool mornings, blue skies and a light breeze, with humidity noticeably lower than the rest of the year. The clear trade-off: this is also peak tourist season, so posters note higher prices and more crowds than the shoulder months. For Kampot specifically, posters describe November-December as particularly gorgeous - dry and comfortably low-humidity, though occasionally dusty given the dry conditions. Posters do flag that 'cool' is relative here - what feels cool to a Cambodian local wearing a light jacket may still feel warm to a visitor from a genuinely cold climate, so temperature expectations should be calibrated accordingly.
