Cambodia is bracing for unsettled weather conditions between July 23 and July 25, 2026, as low-pressure systems over the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Sea, the South China Sea, and the Mekong River Basin influence the southwest monsoon.

The plains region, including Phnom Penh and several surrounding provinces such as Battambang, Siem Reap, and Kandal, can expect temperatures ranging from 25°C to 36°C. Forecasters anticipate rain, thunderstorms, and gusts across 40% of this area, accompanied by winds blowing from the southwest and northwest at 3 meters per second.
