Typhoon Neoguri cause of dry spell

PETALING JAYA: Typhoon Neoguri which has barrelled across the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa is causing the hot and dry spell in Malaysia.

Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD) spokesman Dr Hisham Mohd Anip said the typhoon dragged in moisture from surrounding areas, including Malaysia, which had led to the dry weather over the past few days.
