KUALA LUMPUR: Northern Peninsular Malaysia has seen hot, dry and windy conditions, known locally as "musim timur (east season)", as a normal weather pattern during the Northeast Monsoon season, says an expert.
Universiti Malaya (UM) meteorologist Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Azizan Abu Samah said the Northeast Monsoon was driven by cold surges, strong northeasterly or easterly winds and a low-pressure zone known as the monsoon trough.
