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

below danger level

near danger level

above danger level

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.

Over 3 million people live in townships, downstream from river monitoring stations where the water level is above the danger level. This level, established by the Dept. of Meteorology and Hydrology is the level beyond which, rivers may no longer be able to contain the water, and flooding is likely.

The 7 day forecast from NASAs TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) predicts moderate rainfall over Rakhine and Mon states. (as of 6 Aug)
