KUALA LUMPUR — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) issued a warning on Monday for thunderstorms and heavy rain affecting Kuala Lumpur and 12 states, with severe weather conditions expected to continue until 7 p.m.
The warning encompasses multiple regions across the country, with meteorologists advising residents in affected areas to remain vigilant. Heavy downpours and strong winds accompanying the thunderstorms pose potential hazards, including flash flooding in low-lying areas and reduced visibility on roadways.
MetMalaysia recommends that people avoid outdoor activities during the warning period and exercise caution when traveling. Motorists are advised to drive carefully on roads prone to waterlogging, while residents in flood-prone areas should take precautionary measures to protect their properties.
The department said it would continue to monitor atmospheric conditions and update the public accordingly. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official MetMalaysia channels for the latest weather updates and any changes to the warning status.
