we finally have southwesterly circulation from sri lanka to the rest of the region.
7-9 weeks late, but quite a downpour in PP at lunchtime today.
fingers crossed it keeps going.

nice and cool now.

Can you explain how southwesterly winds from Sri Lanka could impact weather in Cambodia, which is east of Sri Lanka?

it is called the Indian Monsoon, and it comes here too.
Characterised by southwesterlies right across the region.
zoom out here: http://www.accuweather.com/en/kh/national/satellite
In the dry season, circulation is form the northeast.

It has just flipped to southwesterly here in the past few days, a lot of rice farmers will be relieved once the rain starts. Thailand too.

Wind directions refer to where the wind is coming from

^^^Yes, exactly. Out of the southwest, winds blow eastward across the Andaman Sea to Southeast Asia.

well it is back to northeasterlies again.
raining a little now after a scorching hot day.
supposed to be 38 sunday.

i have asked a few Khmer friends if they have heard of climate change or global warming- so far drawn a blank.

I've talked to Khmers about climate change. Mostly they say it's because Youn cut down all trees in Cambodia. It would be funny if it were not true.
