PHNOM PENH, Jul 15 (NNN-AKP) – Cambodia advised travellers and fishermen not to venture out to sea from tomorrow to Jul 20, as the kingdom is suffering from the impact of a typhoon.
Cambodia will be affected by a typhoon in the Philippines, which will brew over the South China Sea before moving on to northern Vietnam, the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology said. Such a situation will cause low-to-moderate rainfall in the lowlands and the highlands in Cambodia, the statement said.
“For coastal provinces, the sky will be gloomy, with moderate-to-heavy rainfall from tomorrow to Jul 20,” the statement said. “In the sea, there will be rain with strong wind and high waves.”
The statement urged people to be extra-vigilant to avoid any possible dangers.
Preah Sihanouk Provincial Governor, Kuoch Chamroeun, today told tour boat operators, taxi boats, and fishermen to halt their trips to sea during the above-mentioned period.
“Any trips to the sea must be temporarily suspended until the weather has improved,” he said in a video clip, posted on his official Facebook page.
