Fishermen and passengers travelling by sea have been warned to take care as rainstorms lash coastal areas from tomorrow until Saturday.
The Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology said big waves were expected off Preah Sihanouk, Kampot, Kep and Koh Kong provinces.

It said a low-pressure area would bring average-to-high rainfall to Phnom Penh and Kandal, Kampong Speu, Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kampong Chhang, Kampong Thom, Battambang, Pailin, Oddor Meanchey and Siem Reap provinces.
