From today through September 14, 2021, the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology has issued a notification on the meteorological situation in Cambodia.

Battambang, Pursat, Kampong Thom, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Kandal, Svay Rieng, Phnom Penh, Koh Kong Preah Sihanouk, and Kampot provinces are all experiencing flooding during this time.

 

This is due to a low pressure system (ITCZ) that stretches from Burma to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, as well as the 13th typhoon Konson, which is expected to make landfall in North Vietnam, and another active depression in the Philippines' East Sea.
