I haven't been in Cambodia that long (around 7 years). Buy I cannot remember a rainier march than this, seems very unusual.

Any of the longer serving members experienced anything similar before?

I've seen like 4 showers so far - one was pretty wet

I have seen the occasional showers in the supposedly dry months, but normally they are light and short lived. Last night was a proper storm that went on for hours, and that is a new one to me.

Perhaps it's related to climate change.

These were known as mango rain but the heavier showers are something new.

Hopefully they will stave off any power cuts.

Mango rain (plien svay) is a yearly thing, usually start late february and ends a week into march,
some variations as always with weather and parts of the country.

This is not caused by climate change but who knows about the future since climate change have always been a factor.
Also during the driest months there might be some heavy rains.
One of the heaviest downpours I've seen here during my nearly 20 years in the Kingdom was late march some ten/twelve years ago,
it caused floodings and landslides along the coast.
