Each country has its own characteristics when mentioning the weather.

In Cambodia, there are 2 seasons around the year:

• Average temperature: 27-28°C
• Dry season (December - April) with north-east monsoon and hot wind blows
• Wet season (May - November) with increasing rainfall 

Laos also has a tropical climate with dry and wet seasons:

• Average temperature: around 32°C
• Dry season (November - April) with both high and low temperatures
• Wet season (May - September) with monsoon and high humidity

Vietnam's weather is different from the two above countries due to its three main regions and their own distinct climate patterns.

• North: warm spring (February - April, ), hot summer (May - August), sunny autumn (September - November), and cold winter (December - January). The obvious difference in temperature is between summer, 28-38°C, and winter, 10-20°C.
• Central: dry season (February - August), storm season (September - October), and rainy season (November - January). The average temperature is 20-30°C.
• South: dry season (November - April) with low humidity and rainy season (May - October) with frequent downpours in the afternoon. The average temperature is 25-36°C.
