Sre Ambel sits on Cambodia’s Gulf of Thailand coast, where the southwest monsoon from May through October brings the country’s most direct rainfall, occasionally intensified by the remnants of tropical storms crossing from the South China Sea.
In Koh Kong province, the district’s rivers drain a mountainous, densely forested coastal region known for intense monsoon rainfall. Because the coastal plain here is generally flat and low-lying, sustained monsoon downpours can cause local flooding independent of the Mekong basin’s much larger flood pulse further inland, making radar useful for tracking these more localized coastal rain systems.
