RIVER LEVEL MONITORING AND FLOOD FORECAST
NATIONAL WEATHER WARNING
According to the Mekong River Commission, all eight river monitoring stations in Cambodia are at ‘normal’ levels (indicated as ‘N’ in the map below). Water levels at all stations are forecasted to decrease in the next five days (26-30 September), but rainfall is forecasted in the next week so river water levels could rise again.
The Department of Meteorology’s three-day outlook includes a warning of thunderstorms across Cambodia on September.
REGIONAL RAINFALL FORECAST
Accumulated rainfall for the seven-day period of September is forecasted to be around 70mm in the north-eastern part of Cambodia, which is above the long-term average. The south-eastern part, plains areas and coastal areas of Cambodia are expected to receive rainfall between 15mm and 45mm, which is consistent with normal rainfall conditions. In the provinces around the Tonle Sap Lake and the north-western part of the country lower than average rainfall is expected.
