A low-pressure trough extended from the South China Sea towards the Andaman Sea, the Gulf of Thailand and the Mekong basin, while the southwest monsoon continued to affect Cambodia.
Rain was forecast over about 45% of lowland areas, 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 upland areas, rain was forecast over approximately 50% of the area, including Kampong Speu, Pailin, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Kratie, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri, Mondulkiri and the Dangrek and Cardamom ranges. About 30% of coastal areas were expected to receive rain, including Koh Kong, Preah Sihanouk, Kampot, Kep and the Bokor range, with average waves of about 0.50–1.75 metres.
