Cambodia’s Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology said Storm No. 17, Mitag (T2517), had lost its influence, but No. 18 Ragasa (T2518) and No. 19 Neoguri (T2519) had developed into typhoons and would influence weather in Cambodia, bringing rain to much of the country from September 23 to 25. It said their tracks would not have a strong effect on Cambodia.
The ministry said the storms also influenced the southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea, Gulf of Thailand, Mekong Basin, South China Sea and Cambodia.
In the lowlands—Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pursat, Kampong Chhnang, Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham, Tboung Khmum, Prey Veng, Kandal, Takeo, Svay Rieng and Phnom Penh—rain, thunderstorms and gusts could cover about 50% of the area.
