According to an official with the department of meteorology of the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, the successive heavy rains in the last few days are nothing more than normal rains encountered during rainy season, and they are caused by a low pressure system hanging over Cambodia. Long Saravuth, the deputy director of the department of meteorology said that during a low pressure system, rains tend to be heavier (with larger rain drops) but they do not last long. Before the rains, the weather is hot and humid and is sometime accompanied by strong whirlwinds. Long Saravuth added that, last week, the heavy rain in Phnom Penh recorded 40 millimeters (4 centimeters) in Pochentong, and higher rain recordings were registered along the rivers. A rain recording more than 20 millimeters of water drop is considered as a heavy rain.

During Ah Loung Cham Kout regime, we were all dumb and uneducated so this Loung can say anything plus we all believed that he was Neak Mean Boun but he was not. He was just Bullshit King.
