Cold snap grips the peninsula


Young sentries: Two brothers keeping tabs on the flood situation at Kampung Pulau Manis, Pekan. The low-lying areas of the village were flooded again after incessant rain.

PETALING JAYA: It has been cold, damp and, in some places, extremely wet. The warm clothes are out and people are all wrapped up. The west of Peninsular Malaysia is in the grip of a cold snap, with the Klang Valley experiencing the coldest weather it had in months, with temperatures dipping to 22°C.

Kuala Pilah in Negri Sembilan was among the places that registered a low 21°C since midnight, very much lower than the normal 31°C to 32°C, according to the Meteorological Department.
