KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah, Labuan and northern Sarawak are at risk of the squall line phenomenon that will bring heavy rain and strong winds from today until May 7.

According to the Malaysian Meteorological Department forecast at 1pm yesterday and based on its weather model analysis, a low-pressure system is expected to form in the western Philippines and move westward.
“This is expected to result in stronger south-westerly winds off western Sabah and northern Sarawak from May 5 to May 10,” it added, reported Bernama.
