Heavy Rain in Phnom Penh

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Nope. It has to do with the phases of the moon. The next (full or new moon, can't remember) is on the 14th, which coincides with the Water Festival.

It's been pissing down in Sihanoukville tonight. More rain tomorrow, and if the forecast is correct, it will continue to rain off and on into the next couple of weeks. Let's hope they're wrong. Dry season is not what it used to be.

I personally enjoy the wet season. April will be here soon enough with 32c & 85% humidity. Dust blowing everywhere. We will fondly recall the wet season then. :beer3:

It is usually people who can afford cars that enjoy rainy season the most.
