Experts: Take measures against hot, dry weather

KUALA LUMPUR: The public has been advised to limit outdoor activities during the current southwest monsoon phase, which began on May 17 and brings hotter and drier weather.

Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Faculty of Forestry and Environment senior lecturer Dr Zulfa Hanan Ash’aari said residents in affected areas are expected to face these conditions until mid-September, so they need to take precautions to protect themselves, in addition to drinking enough water.
