KUALA LUMPUR: The city may see flash floods due to heavy rains brought in by the northeast monsoon, which is about to start soon.

Low lying areas, including parts of Segambut, Gombak, Lembah Pantai, Cheras and several major roads such as Jalan Kuching, were among those prone to flash floods after heavy downpours, said city Fire and Rescue Department chief operations officer Samsol Maarif Saibani.
