Kampot climate

Warm weather and a long wet season make indoor comfort, drainage, and travel part of the climate choice

The World Meteorological Organization's Kampot table uses monthly averages from 1982 to 2024. Mean daily maximum temperatures reach about 33.5 degrees Celsius in May, while mean rainfall rises to about 380.7 millimeters in August. May through October carries many rain days, and December through February is much drier. The catalog lists 77 percent humidity and a warm climate band, so a comfortable home needs more than a pleasant outdoor view.

Inspect cooling, fans, shade, ventilation, screens, roof, gutters, drainage, mold, mosquitoes, water storage, power, internet, road surfaces, and indoor choices for a wet afternoon. Pair outdoor plans with heat, thunderstorms, slippery footing, flood notices, and traffic. A mountain outing may feel cooler than town, but the drive, weather change, and return route still need a full year review.

Kampot in everyday life

Could Kampot work for you?

What may work well

  • The WMO climate table makes Kampot's heat, rainfall, dry months, wet months, and rain day differences visible.
  • River, mountain, food, cave, and nearby coastal choices can give the year more than one kind of outing when weather allows.

What to think about

  • Heat, humidity, heavy rain, flooding, slippery surfaces, mosquitoes, mold, power, water, and road conditions can limit outdoor access.
  • Cooling, ventilation, drainage, roof, screens, water, power, insurance, and care travel deserve an address level review.

Choose Kampot for the whole year

  1. Inspect comfort and moisture

    Review cooling, fans, ventilation, screens, roof, gutters, drainage, mold, shade, water, power, and indoor air.

  2. Plan around monsoon weather

    Pair river, mountain, market, meal, care, and family visits with shade, hydration, rain alternatives, safe surfaces, flood notices, and transport backup.

  3. Price seasonal upkeep

    Ask about cooling, power, water, roof, drainage, mold, mosquitoes, insurance, vehicle use, road condition, flood repairs, and the route to care.

Questions retirees ask

What is the weather like in Kampot?

Kampot is warm year round, with average daily maximum temperatures around 30 to 33.5 degrees Celsius in the WMO table. Rain is much heavier from May through October, especially August. Plan for cooling, humidity, drainage, mold, mosquitoes, safe roads, and indoor choices.

Is Kampot rainy in the summer?

Yes. The WMO table shows many rain days and much higher monthly rainfall from May through October than in the drier months. Check roof, gutters, drainage, roads, flood exposure, power, transport, and the route to care.

Kampot can suit someone who enjoys warmth and seasonal rain, provided the home controls heat and moisture and the household has workable options for flooding, road changes, power, water, and care throughout the year.
