Unseasonable rains to continue: ministry
The Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology has predicted that the unseasonable storms will continue until this Sunday. Ministry spokesman Chan Yutha said the rainy season might arrive on the first week of May this year, a week earlier than in previous years. Nop Polin, a program officer for humanitarian NGO Dan Church Aid Cambodia, commented that the recent, heavy rainfalls are “unpredictable and exceptional” amid the dry season. According to Yutha, the weather forecast shows that low pressure from the South China Sea has met with high pressure originating from Southern China at the Mekong Delta, and the winds will move to Cambodia today, leading to medium to high levels of rain nationwide.
