Compared to Vientiane, Luang Prabang's higher latitude and altitude makes it a bit more pronounced on the climate chart. Summer highs reach well into the 30°Cs (90°Fs), while in the short cool season - roughly late November through to mid-February - temperatures can sometimes drop to single digits at night. The wet season is also very pronounced peaking in August and becoming quite dry at either end of the calendar.
