KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has warned of prolonged rainfall across four states, with wet conditions expected to persist until Wednesday. The alert comes as a weather system brings moisture-laden winds to the region, creating conditions favourable for sustained precipitation.
The states under the weather warning are experiencing above-average rainfall as the system moves across the peninsula. MetMalaysia said the continuous rain could lead to water accumulation in low-lying areas and increase the risk of flash floods and landslides in hilly terrain.
Authorities in the affected areas have been advised to monitor water levels at rivers and streams, particularly in flood-prone zones. Residents are urged to exercise caution and avoid outdoor activities in high-risk areas during the warning period.
MetMalaysia recommended that the public monitor weather updates regularly and heed any advisories issued by relevant authorities. The department will continue to track the weather system and issue updates as conditions evolve.
