ALOR SETAR: The north-east monsoon is usually linked to heavy rain, but in the northern states of Penang, Kedah and Perlis, the later months bring weeks of hot and dry weather which is welcomed by padi and Harumanis mango farmers.
While other states may still experience rainy weather, these three states are now facing dry and hot conditions that farmers welcome.
