Warm CNY for Peninsular Malaysia

Inundated: Floods triggered by days of continuous downpour between Dec 17 and 19 last year displaced more than 50,000 people.

PETALING JAYA: Following weeks of evening downpour that was expected to last until the end of this month, experts are now predicting that Peninsular Malaysia will be drier by the time Chinese New Year arrives.

Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Muhammad Helmi Abdullah said although the weather may improve in several states, thunderstorms are still expected in the evenings and well into the late nights in Sabah, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, and Johor in the coming weeks.
