The effect of low pressure system which brings along heavy rains in the past few days has weakened, but another low pressure system is building up south of Vietnam and it can turns into a violent storm that could affect Cambodia. Long Saravuth, director of the department of meteorology of the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, told the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper that the low pressure front is weakening somewhat, however, dark clouds over Cambodia are still persistent, and that rains still continue to fall. He added that even though the current low pressure system is weakening, another one is brewing south of Vietnam, and should this low pressure turns into a storm, it could affect Cambodia. Long Saravuth said that the weather change is being closely monitored and that if there is any change, he will provide additional information as they become available.
