Rain accompanied by thunder, lightning and gusty winds may continue across almost all Cambodian provinces and the capital until September 12, 2025, according to the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology. Although the year’s 16th storm, Tapah, has lost its influence, a low-pressure system in the South China Sea continues to affect the Andaman Sea, Gulf of Thailand, Mekong basin’s southwest monsoon and Cambodia.
The ministry said rain, thunder, lightning and gusts could cover 40 percent of the plains, including Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pursat, Kampong Chhnang, Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham, Tboung Khmum, Prey Veng, Kandal, Takeo, Svay Rieng and Phnom Penh.
In the highlands—Kampong Speu, Pailin, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Kratie, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri, Mondulkiri, the Dangrek range and the Cardamom Mountains—rain, thunder, lightning and gusts could cover 50 percent of the area. Along the coast, including Koh Kong, Preah Sihanouk, Kampot, Kep and the Bokor range, they could cover 35 percent of the area, with sea waves of 0.50 to 1.50 metres.
