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.
A squall line is a line of severe thunderstorms that can form along or ahead of a cold front.
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.
The public is advised to always refer to the website www.met.gov.my and all the department’s social media platforms for the latest and authentic information.
