KUALA LUMPUR: The East Coast states of Peninsular Malaysia, together with the northern and eastern regions of Sabah, are anticipated to experience 20% to 40% more rainfall during this year's Northeast Monsoon season compared with last year.
Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip attributed this increase to the simultaneous occurrence of the Northeast Monsoon and the La Niña phenomenon this year.
