Looking to find out what the sea water temperature in Koh Rong is for today and the next few days? Below are data and charts that will give you information about sea temperatures in Koh Rong and nearby locations.
Water temperature in Koh Rong right now
Below is the current sea temperature for Koh Rong, Cambodia on 30th March 2023.
30.42° C
(86.75° F)
- yesterday: 30.38° C (86.68° F)
- a week ago: 29.08° C (84.34° F)
Water at this temperature is very warm and you should look to bathe only. Avoid any kind of strenuous swimming as there is a real risk of heat stroke at this temperature.
The average sea temperature for Koh Rong on March 30th over the last 10 years is 29.76° C (85.57° F), with a low temperature of 28.32° C (82.98° F) and a high of 30.44° C (86.79° F).
Analysis and forecast for Koh Rong water temperatures
The water temperature in Koh Rong today is higher than the average temperature of 29.76° C (85.57° F) and the temperature on this day last year, 30th March 2022, was 30.44° C (86.79° F).
The chart and table below shows the change in water temperature in Koh Rong over the last 30 days:
The actual nearshore temperatures may vary by several degrees and this can also be heavily affected by weather. Strong winds can cause cold, deep waters to replace the surface waters that had been warmed by the sun, and heavy rain can also reduce the temperature of the sea surface temperature as well.

Locations near Koh Rong
The highest temperature in Cambodia today is 30.57° C (87.02° F) in Siem Reap. The lowest is in Koh Rong, where the temperature of the water is 29.8° C (85.63° F).
Why measure sea surface temperatures (SST) in Koh Rong?
The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Koh Rong because they want to understand and learn how the ocean communicates with the atomosphere of Earth.
SST is one measure that provides information on the global climate, and it can be used to predict the weather in Koh Rong as well as atmospheric model simulations and to study marine ecosystems in the area.
Data source and citation
Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Koh Rong comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.
The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.
