What it feels like
When mornings/evenings and indoor AC differ a lot, you feel the day’s length more than the number.
Rain changes how you move, and wind makes the same temperature feel much harsher.
When it tends to fit
- • If you’ll walk a lot and you’re sensitive to wind or rain, cooler/drier conditions tend to fit better.
- • For photo-and-walk trips, sunny days usually matter more than the exact temperature.
When it may not fit
- • If you struggle with humid heat, some seasons can feel tiring even when the numbers look similar.
- • In rainier periods, “walking as planned” can be harder—tight itineraries may not fit well.
What people usually wear
Not a single “correct outfit”—just common choices that cover most situations.
- • ☀️ Key point: Many temple-ruin routes are outdoors with limited shade, so sun exposure time often defines comfort more than the temperature number.
- • 🔥 Hot season (Mar–May): Heat feel can be harsh at midday. Breathable fabrics plus hat/sunscreen/small towel reduce perceived fatigue.
- • 🌧️ Rainy season (Jun–Oct): Downpours can soak you quickly, and waterlogging/slick paths can raise difficulty. Quick-dry gear + a water-safe pouch helps.
It looks simple on paper, but the day-to-day texture can vary.
