Rain forecast as Myanmar on ‘yellow alert’

The heat looks set to break and Myanmar is about to get doused, according to the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology.

The department announced yesterday that a low pressure area near Sri Lanka has intensified into a depression, which will produce cloudy, rainy and windy weather around the region.

The depression does not look to be heading to Myanmar, but the country is on “yellow alert” for storm risk.

U Kyaw Lwin Oo, director of the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, said that rain is possible throughout the whole country, but especially in the delta as a result of the nearby depression. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
