Myanmar: Rainfall and river level forecast (as of 4 Aug)

Forecasted river levels (4 Aug)

The Myanmar Department of Meteorology and Hydrology provides near-daily updates on the actual and forecasted water level in the major rivers of Myanmar. The forecasted levels for 4 August show a mixed picture. In the far north, water levels remain high, but are lower in much of the central plains. In the heavily populated areas of Bago, Ayeyarwaddy, and Yangon, water levels vary.
