Winds blowing from Southwest. The weather forecast for Kampot for Sunday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected. Check again for latest updates.

The location marker is placed on Kampot. Orange crosses indicate lightning. Data provided by nowcast.de (available in USA, Europe, Australia). Drizzle or light snow fall might be invisible for the radar. Precipitation intensity is colour coded, ranging from turquoise to red.

The real-time satellite image combines visible light during daytime with infrared radiation during nighttime. At night, the image is not dark as infrared radiation can detect temperature differences. Unfortunately, low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and thus can be almost invisible during the night. Meteosat satellite images for Europe are updated in real-time every 5 minutes. GOES-16/GOES-17 (North & South America) and Himawari (Asia) images update every 10 minutes.

Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. Precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate at night than during daytime. 2024 meteoblue, NOAA Satellites GOES-16 and EUMETSAT. Lightning data provided by nowcast.

In Kampot, the wet season is overcast, the dry season is partly cloudy, and it is hot and oppressive year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 75F to 90F and is rarely below 71F or above 94F.

The wetter season lasts 6.2 months, from May 1 to November 8, with a greater than 39% chance of a given day being a wet day. The month with the most wet days in Kampot is August, with an average of 21.1 days with at least 0.04 inches of precipitation.

Among wet days, we distinguish between those that experience rain alone, snow alone, or a mixture of the two. The month with the most days of rain alone in Kampot is August, with an average of 21.1 days. Based on this categorization, the most common form of precipitation throughout the year is rain alone, with a peak probability of 71% on September 27.

To show variation within the months and not just the monthly totals, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day of the year. Kampot experiences extreme seasonal variation in monthly rainfall.

The length of the day in Kampot does not vary substantially over the course of the year, staying within 44 minutes of 12 hours throughout. In 2024, the shortest day is December 21, with 11 hours, 30 minutes of daylight; the longest day is June 21, with 12 hours, 45 minutes of daylight.

The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for 2024. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars (new Moons) and blue bars (full Moons) indicate key Moon phases.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The perceived humidity level in Kampot, as measured by the percentage of time in which the humidity comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable, does not vary significantly over the course of the year, staying within 4% of 96% throughout.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.

The windier part of the year lasts for 3.8 months, from May 25 to September 19, with average wind speeds of more than 7.8 miles per hour. The windiest month of the year in Kampot is August, with an average hourly wind speed of 9.5 miles per hour.

The wind is most often from the south for 2.6 months, from February 15 to May 3, with a peak percentage of 50% on March 26. The wind is most often from the west for 5.5 months, from May 3 to October 18, with a peak percentage of 92% on August 11. The wind is most often from the east for 1.5 months, from October 18 to December 2 and for 2.0 months, from December 16 to February 15, with a peak percentage of 48% on November 7.

The time of year with warmer water lasts for 2.0 months, from April 8 to June 6, with an average temperature above 86F. The month of the year in Kampot with the warmest water is May, with an average temperature of 87F.

The time of year with cooler water lasts for 2.4 months, from December 6 to February 18, with an average temperature below 83F. The month of the year in Kampot with the coolest water is January, with an average temperature of 82F.

The tourism score favors clear, rainless days with perceived temperatures between 65F and 80F. Based on this score, the best time of year to visit Kampot for general outdoor tourist activities is from mid December to late February, with a peak score in the first week of January.

The beach/pool score favors clear, rainless days with perceived temperatures between 75F and 90F. Based on this score, the best time of year to visit Kampot for hot-weather activities is from early December to mid March, with a peak score in the second week of February.

For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.

Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0.04 inches of precipitation or more.

Temperatures in Kampot are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50F and a cap of 86F.

This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents. Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation.

The brighter period of the year lasts for 2.3 months, from January 27 to April 4, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter above 5.9 kWh. The brightest month of the year in Kampot is March, with an average of 6.2 kWh.

The darker period of the year lasts for 5.2 months, from May 16 to October 22, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter below 4.3 kWh. The darkest month of the year in Kampot is June, with an average of 3.9 kWh.

The topography within 2 miles of Kampot contains only modest variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of 194 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 23 feet. Within 10 miles contains only modest variations in elevation (2,251 feet). Within 50 miles contains large variations in elevation (3,563 feet).

At a distance of 123 kilometers from Kampot, closer than our threshold of 150 kilometers, this station is deemed sufficiently nearby to be relied upon as our primary source for temperature and dew point records.

The station records are corrected for the elevation difference between the station and Kampot according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.

The information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.

We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
