(Kuala Lumpur, 4th) Malaysian Meteorological Department Director Mohamad Hisham pointed out that Malaysia is currently in the southwest monsoon period, leading to several consecutive days without rain and rising temperatures. Several regions are experiencing hot weather, and this situation is expected to last until September.
According to the Malay newspaper “Metropolitan Daily” report, Mohamad Hisham stated that Malaysia is currently in the southwest monsoon period, which significantly reduces rainfall in most areas.
“However, local areas may still experience intermittent thunderstorms and heavy rain, particularly in the western part of West Malaysia, northern Sarawak, and western Sabah during the early morning, as well as in inland areas during the evening or nighttime.”
Mohamad Hisham urged the public to drink more water and reduce prolonged outdoor activities to avoid health risks.
He said, at the same time, open burning should be avoided to prevent haze and environmental pollution. It is recommended that everyone keep abreast of the latest weather information through the MetMalaysia website, myCuaca app, or our social media.
Previously, on June 2nd, the Facebook page of the Malaysian Meteorological Department reported that six regions, including Bandar Baru in Kedah, Larut, Matang, and Kuala Kangsar in Perak, as well as Machang and Kuala Krai in Kelantan, recorded daily maximum temperatures ranging between 35 to 37 degrees Celsius for three consecutive days, at the “Level 1 Warning” level, raising concerns among the public and public health experts.
Dr. Sharifa Ezat from the National University of Malaysia (UKM) warned that high temperatures can cause heatstroke and even endanger life, especially for the elderly, children, pregnant women, and obese individuals.
