Daily ERA5 maximum and minimum air temperatures were averaged by calendar month across 2015–2024. Wet days count daily precipitation totals of at least 1 mm; the listed value is the average count for that calendar month across ten years. Open-Meteo serves ERA5 on an approximately 0.25° grid; the returned grid point can differ from the requested coordinates. These are model reanalysis averages, not local station normals or forecasts. Angkor’s exposed temple grounds may feel hotter than this city grid. Tourism Cambodia describes November–February as the cooler, drier travel period; the broad label does not quantify crowds. The city grid has fewer average wet days in December, but sunrise and temple conditions vary.

Before you book
A few November questions
Arrange temple transport and tickets before an early start.
Is November a good time for Angkor?
November is a useful start to the drier season, but it remains hot. Begin temple walks early and keep water with you.
When should I visit the temples?
Start near opening time and choose a smaller number of sites. Midday heat can make long outdoor visits tiring.
Where should I stay?
Old Market suits dining and nightlife, Wat Bo is quieter near the centre, and north-side resorts make early drives easier.
Do I need an Angkor pass?
Most visitors need a ticket, but check Angkor Enterprise for current eligibility, ticket types and entry rules.
