Laos in August
August is not a good time to visit Laos.
Rainy season. Hot, wet and humid characterises the weather in Laos in August. Wet season reaches its peak in August, which is one of the wettest months of the year in Laos. There is a high probability of daily rainfall with showers increasing in severity. At August showers are reaching their peak. Aside personal discomfort this circumstance makes difficulties in moving around the country. Dirt roads are damped so main personal transport, moped, lose its relevance. But all concerns can't prevail the fact that summer is rather warm than hot season which often becomes key factor in making decision to travel to Laos at summer.
