Wet days ahead nationwide

PETALING JAYA: The entire country is expected to receive plenty of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms as the monsoon enters its transition period.

A Meteorological Department official said that some areas in Kedah, Penang, Sarawak and Sabah would likely receive heavier rainfall, more than the average, and that could lead to flooding.

He said heavy rain and thunderstorms were expected in the late afternoons and evenings in the west coast, interior areas of the peninsula, Sabah west coast and central parts of Sarawak.

He said the period, which marked the end of the south-west monsoon, would also see the country’s regional areas experiencing a light breeze from various directions.

The weatherman also warned the public to take extra precautions during this period and keep themselves updated with the department’s website or social media page for the latest weather updates.
