KUALA LUMPUR — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued thunderstorm warnings covering Johor, Sabah and Sarawak, alerting residents to prepare for hazardous weather conditions in the coming days.
Forecasters expect heavy rainfall accompanied by strong gusty winds across all three states, which could lead to localized flooding and travel disruptions. The warning underscores the need for residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to safeguard their properties and personal safety.
MetMalaysia advised the public to monitor weather updates regularly and avoid outdoor activities in affected areas during peak rainfall periods. Motorists are urged to exercise extra caution on roads, particularly in low-lying areas prone to flash flooding.
The department also recommended that residents secure loose outdoor items and remain indoors when conditions are at their worst. Authorities in all three states have been placed on standby to respond to any weather-related emergencies or incidents that may arise during this period.
