According to information released by the Meteorological Department in the afternoon of September 30, 2023, several states in the country are expected to experience strong winds and heavy rainfall in the coming days. The affected states include those in the northern part of the West Malaysia Peninsula.
Thunderstorms, strong winds and heavy rains will occur from October 3 to October 5, 2023 in the northern peninsular states. This is due to the concentration of monsoon winds over these states during this period.
People in these states are urged to be vigilant and avoid parking their cars in areas where lightning and flooding are common. Driving should also be avoided on roads where flash flooding is common. If you receive an evacuation notice from the authorities, you should follow the instructions.
Malaysia is currently in the midst of the monsoon season, when the sun shines brightly in the morning and thunderstorms suddenly fall in the afternoon and evening.
