Weather expert forecasts 'significant flooding' within next three days


PETALING JAYA: A weather expert has forecast that the nation will experience significant flooding within the next three days due to heavy monsoon rain triggered by the active La Nina and negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) phenomena.

National Antarctica Research Centre meteorological expert Professor Datuk Dr Azizan Abu Samah told Sinar Harian that the monsoon rain has not only created strong winds over the South China Sea but also the La Nina and IOD phenomena, which has caused an increase of rain resulting in flooding in the east coast of the peninsula.
