Weather Update: Cambodia Braced for Mixed Conditions
Ministry's Notification Provides Insights for May 6-8, 2024
As Cambodia prepares for the weather ahead, the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology has issued a comprehensive notification detailing the forecast for May 6 to 8, 2024. While some regions anticipate rain, Phnom Penh is expected to remain mostly dry and hot during this period.
According to the Ministry's charts, low pressure covering the Gulf of Thailand, central Mekong Basin, and the South China Sea will influence the weather conditions across the country. Here's what to expect:
In lowland areas, including provinces like Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap, and Phnom Penh, temperatures are forecasted to range between 25°C and 36°C. There's a likelihood of rain with thundershowers and gusts covering approximately 20% of the area.
Upland areas such as Oddar Meanchey and Ratanakkiri may experience temperatures between 24°C and 37°C, with rain and thunderstorms expected to cover about 25% of the region.
Along the coast in Koh Kong and Sihanoukville, temperatures are projected to range from 24°C to 35°C. Rain with thunder, lightning, and gusts may affect around 20% of the area, with wave heights averaging between 0.50 meters and 1.50 meters.
As Cambodians adapt to these varied conditions, staying informed and prepared is key. While some areas may experience rainfall, others will continue to bask in the warmth of the sun. Let's stay vigilant and make the most of the weather in the days ahead.
