Climate

Laos has two distinct seasons - the wet season from May to October, and the dry season from November to April. During the wet season, the topography of (mountainous) Laos means there is the risk of landslides. The temperatures are lower during the wet season, averaging 23°C (73°F), with August being the wettest month. The dry season has two distinct sub-sections: the cool dry period from November to February and the hot dry season from March to April. Dry season temperatures average at 28°C (82°F), and the hottest month is April.
