The royal palace, however, remained in Luang Prabang and the city continued to be the country’s monarchic powerhouse until the communist takeover of 1975.Luang Prabang’s climate is characterised by dry and rainy seasons. The rainy season runs from June to October, when heavy rains can be expected most days. Despite the rains, temperatures throughout this season remain high at about 25°C to 30°C. This is one of the least favoured times to visit Luang Prabang as many of the city’s unpaved roads become unusable. Despite this, there are plenty of sunny patches and the vegetation is altogether lusher and more pleasant. If you arrive during the wet months, make sure you take advantage of the nearby waterfalls, which are at their best during this season.
 

Temperature rise in March, April, May and June, the hottest months of the year. There is typically no rain during these months and the city takes on a lethargic nature. Locals commonly nap in the afternoon when the heat it at its peak, and visitors may find sightseeing in temperatures of around 40°C. It is best to follow the locals and get up early, then rest in the afternoon until the temperature drops.
