MetMalaysia: Dry weather expected soon in Klang Valley

Water hazard: Traffic grinds to a halt during a flash flood near Jalan Duta.

PETALING JAYA: The downpours causing flash floods in parts of the Klang Valley are expected to give way to dry weather this month, said the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).

While the southwest monsoon, which started on May 17, was generally associated with lower rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, the reduction was a gradual process, said MetMalaysia director-general Alui Bahari.
