Weather in SE Asia in May

The monsoon season varies from place to place, so check each city you plan to visit.

Hi

In general May is the beginning of period for the SW Monsoon, whereas the countries you listed are primarily East facing, ie more affected by the NE Monsoon (Nov-April).

However, as Kathie has pointed out, makes sense to check the local weather for the cities you are visiting.

Thank you all....I have checked out the website recommended by Kathie. I knew it would be hot,but I was really interested in the humidity...many thanks

My husband would really like to go to Vietnam & Cambodia in the future but doesn't think I can handle the heat and humidity.

I have an autoimmune disease that seems to predispose me to an intolerance to high tmeperatures and high humidity, I am like a dish rag, have absolutely no energy when I'm in those conditions, which is not conducive to traveling in a foreign county on vacation.

Does anyone who has experience traveling in Vietnam & Cambodia know if there are any months that tend to be less hot and less humid??

Thanks! Any suggestions welcome!
