Is it safe to travel to Cambodia?
The UK FCDO advises against all but essential travel to some areas of the country. That advice is limited to certain areas, not the whole territory. The US sets its own level at 2 of 4, exercise increased caution. On our scale Cambodia sits at 4 out of 4, and that official advice is the reason. The rest of what we record is seasonal weather. Over the last 12 months: 29 events, 3 of them severe. Fires account for 24, clustered in the dry months — February carries 16 records and January 9, all hazards combined. Storms account for 2 records, both severe. One flood and one drought were logged. March and June were the quietest months, with 1 record each.
What it changes for a nomad
Read the FCDO page before you book and note which areas the advice covers, because it does not cover the whole country. Day to day, the season decides most of it. January and February hold the bulk of what we record, and fires are most of that: smoke can sit over a place for days, which matters if your lungs are sensitive or you work with the windows open. Storms are rare in our records, but both we logged were severe, and an afternoon like that takes down power and transport. One flood and one drought over 12 months is thin material on those two fronts. For a stay of a few weeks, March and June are the lightest months on record. Two alerts are open right now, so check the live list on the day you move around.

To watch right now
- The FCDO advice against all but essential travel to some areas is in force — check which areas before you go.
- Two alerts are open in the country right now.
- The strongest of the recent records is a storm at 4 out of 4 on our severity scale.
To watch as a rule
- The dry months, January and February, are when fire records pile up — smoke as much as flame.
- Storms: few records here, but both of them were severe.
- Flood and drought: one record each over the last 12 months, seasonal here but thinly recorded.
Good reflexes
- Open the FCDO page for Cambodia before booking and note exactly which areas the advice covers.
- Check the live alert list the morning you take a long road trip.
- In January and February, track air quality and shut the windows when smoke settles.
- Keep a power bank charged, since a severe storm takes the grid down with it.
- Have a fallback plan for the day you travel, in case a storm cuts transport.
