Weather
Luang Prabang has a hot and humid tropical climate. There are two seasons. The rainy season lasts from May to October while the much more pleasant dry season lasts from November to April. During the rainy season there is about 200 to 300 mm of rain a month and the high temperatures, averaging around 33 degrees Celcius during the day and around 24 degrees at night, makes this time the worst for a visit. Winter is much more pleasant with days still close to 30 degrees and nights a nice 15 to 18 degrees. March to May can be very hot, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees and the record stands at 45 degrees!
