PETALING JAYA — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has placed Penang and several northern states under a continuous rain warning extending through October 26, alerting residents and authorities to prepare for sustained wet weather conditions.
The warning covers multiple northern peninsular states and reflects predictions of significant rainfall across the region during the specified period. Such warnings are typically issued when meteorological data suggests persistent precipitation that could impact daily activities, transportation, and outdoor operations.
MetMalaysia advised the public to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Residents in low-lying areas and flood-prone zones should monitor weather updates closely, as continuous rainfall increases the risk of localized flooding and flash floods.
The department recommended that relevant authorities maintain readiness and ensure drainage systems are functioning optimally. Motorists are urged to exercise caution on roads, particularly in areas known to experience waterlogging during heavy rain.
MetMalaysia continues to monitor atmospheric conditions and will issue further updates as necessary. The public is encouraged to check official weather bulletins for the latest forecasts and any changes to the warning status.
