Yeah, this site does and from a cursory look it seems like there is more rain than the average, but I don't believe that is the whole problem, the unbridled construction is. People will blame the filling in of wetlands/ swamps which is of course a factor. What I consider a much larger factor is that the drainage for these areas was put in when they were insignificant settlements, so the pipes are 12" at most, and then the huge amount of plastic bags and Styrofoam trays etc that just blocks everything up. It's a disaster, but it could have a beneficial result if it discourages more dumb development. There are all these ill-thought-out businesses opening up all over the place, many go bust within months. It's a huge waste of resources and no use to anyone.

Glad you agree with me. Of course the out of control development is wholly Chinese.
Climate change is proven fact backed up by voluminous scientific data.
Maybe check your assumptions.

Nope, I don't really agree with you. I said the construction and backfilling has some impact. And it was locals who backfilled and blocked few of the most important natural drainages, and this happen already few years ago. Trash in canals has some impact too. But the biggest cause is the precipitation, which is 8-15 times more than average (depending on the source).

Feel awful for the locals, a lot of people are being massively taken advantage of. Makes you feel sad.

Worst flood in Sihanoukville history.
Locals blame development with no infrastructure provisions.

Ten or so years ago it rained in SNV for a month straight, no serious flooding. It is the development and over stressing the infrastructure.

Blaming climate change while ignoring the on the ground facts in SNV...very Cambodian.

Build on land that usually took the water overflow, to small sewers full of trash from building sites
what do you expect?

Its NOT just climate change

In Westlake, there is 100% man made climate change. Amount of rainfall is irrelevant. Result would be the same sooner or later. In this case, sooner, unfortunately.

On the bright side, there is a huge wooden table (or two) set up just for PRC visas. Table is placed at the front of the arrival area, and staffed with 3-5 Khmer immigration officers. Biggest stamp of PRC influence over the KOW possible.

AccuWeather has the rainfall tables day by day. Don't know how accurate they are but the data are viewable month by month. Here's direct link to the current month, with drop-down menus for preceding months.:
