In spite of having two distinct weather seasons, Laos is an ideal destination to travel all year round and Laos’ weather system, with no coastline to influence things, is significantly straight-forward compared with it of much of Asia. Laos’ weather consists of two seasons: wet season (from May to late September) and dry season (from October to late April). There are variations in temperature within each season, with the early wet season (May and June) typically being the hottest of the year and the dry months leading up to the wet season (March and April). cruise mekong river

During these months between April and October, Laos, particularly the Southern area has heavy rains brought by the monsoon, which sometimes makes transport by road difficult or even impossible due to bad-conditioned roads. The weather in April and May is hot with the average temperatures of about 30°C and 35°C. During these months from July to September, heat waves are normal although the rains are less frequent.
The dry season from November to March sees bearable temperatures and lower humidity, which vary due to the altitude. In the northern mountains, nights can be cold! Dry season can be the best time to visit Laos.
