From May 14, our country will experience the southwest monsoon season, therefore let’s learn about its characteristics and impact.
The southwest monsoon season runs from May to September every year, according to statistics given by the Malaysian Meteorological Department, and it will begin on May 14 this year. Our country’s climate will be rather dry throughout the southwest monsoon season.
The southwest monsoon has less rainfall and fewer rainy days than the other monsoons. A Squall Line will pass along the west coast of the peninsula and northern Sabah in the morning or early morning, bringing strong winds, torrential rain, and thunderstorms. For several hours, the storm line phenomenon will persist.
People are advised not to burn publicly, not to scatter cigarette butts, to drink more water, to reduce outside activities, and to save sufficient water during the southwest monsoon season.
Smog, dry weather, forest fires, and diminishing reservoir water levels are among challenges that the southwest monsoon will bring.
