For several days in a row, Cambodia is hit by irregular rains accompanied by storms. Several provinces are submerged by flood. The ministry of Water Resources called for precaution.

Several coastal regions, areas near the Tonle Sap Lake and rivers were flooded these past few days. The inclement weather was caused by a weak depression which should leave the country on Wednesday 22 July, a communiqué of the ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, indicated on Sunday 19 July.

Rains and storms are already announced in some provinces, in particular in Kandal, Pursat, Battambang, Pailin, Beanteay Meanchey and Siem Reap. Under these conditions, the ministry called on residents and travelers to be cautious, especially in the area surrounding the Tonle Sap Lake.

rain is good for cambodia; it replenishes the entire country. i think cambodia should have an excellent meteology system to help its people to be prepared for big storm and bad weather, etc...

Plant some more trees to make our country greener and providing shelter for birds and other animals. I am going to do it in my small piece of land that i don't really use :)

yes, let's help to make cambodia very green country, that is with lots of trees, plants, flowers, fruit trees, aquatic plants, rice field, orchard and other plantations, etc... green environment is better than dry, arid land landscape. even the cities can be green as well by planting lots of trees, etc... god bless cambodia.
