PETALING JAYA: A wet Christmas is expected this year as frequent and incessant rain has been forecast for eastern peninsular states, western Sarawak and eastern Sabah, according to the Malaysian Metrological Department (MetMalaysia).

Its director-general Muhammad Helmi Abdullah advised holidaymakers to avoid going into the sea on the peninsular east coast and east Sabah due to rough seas and high waves.
