A low pressure area may form over the Bay of Bengal in the second ten day of June and it may bring more rain, said Dr Kyaw Moe Oo, Director General of the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH).
“According to our model outputs, a low pressure area may form over the Bay of Bengal and northern area of the Bay of Bengal and Myanmar will have more rain usually. Although the low pressure areas occurred in this period were not usually passed Myanmar previously, weather patterns are changing. Myanmar needs to observe storms and low pressure areas,” he said.
Water level in rivers were increased a little as monsoon wind was weak and river water levels may increase due to the strong monsoon wind, he said.
Southwest monsoon wind already entered middle areas of Myanmar and it will reach to northern areas of Myanmar within a day time.
