‘Enhance skills of our forecasters’

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Meteoro­lo­gical Department needs to enhance the skills of storm forecasters in light of the floods in Penang, a climate expert said.

Prof Datuk Dr Azizan Abu Samah from Universiti Malaya said the heavy rains that hit Penang was re­­lated to Typhoon Damrey, a strong tropical cyclone that hit Vietnam.
