Rainy season breeds trouble


PETALING JAYA: If predictions by meteorologists that Malaysia will be lashed by bouts of heavy rain in the coming weeks come true, then what is certain to follow is the creation of many mosquito breeding grounds, especially for the dengue virus-bearing Aedes.

The Meteorological Department announced on its website that the northeast moonsoon, which had started and would last until March next year, will bring along four to five episodes of widespread heavy rain that may continue for three to seven days.
