PUTRAJAYA: The Southwest Monsoon (MBD), which began on May 10 and is expected to last until September, is not likely to bring extreme dry weather, as the current El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) pattern remains in a neutral phase, said National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) director-general Datuk Abdul Halim Hamzah.
He said that as a result, the impact of droughts typically associated with the monsoon was expected to be less severe this year compared to last year.
