KOTA KINABALU: It is too early to predict if Sabah will be hit by a typhoon, said the Malaysian Meteorological Department.

"The movement and intensity of any tropical cyclone is difficult to forecast three or more days ahead due to the vagaries of atmospheric conditions," said Department director-general Alui Bahari, adding that they were keeping a close watch on the weather situation nationwide.
