PETALING JAYA: Continuous heavy rain is expected to hit Malaysians living along the Peninsula’s east coast and western Sarawak next week due to a forecasted monsoon surge, says the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).
It said that the monsoon surge was expected to hit Malaysia from Dec 14 to 18.
“This condition has the potential to bring continuous heavy rain as well as strong winds and rough seas over the South China Sea during that period,” MetMalaysia said in a statement on Friday (Dec 12).
Affected states include Sarawak, which has been issued a Continuous Rain Warning (Alert) from Dec 13 to 16.
Meanwhile, a similar rain warning has been issued to Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor from Dec 14 to 16.
