KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued a thunderstorm warning affecting all Malaysian states, with adverse weather conditions anticipated to continue until 6pm today.
The alert encompasses both Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak, signalling a widespread weather system moving across the region. Thunderstorms of this magnitude typically bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and the potential for localised flooding in low-lying areas.
MetMalaysia has advised the public to remain vigilant and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during the warning period. Motorists are urged to exercise caution on roads, particularly in areas prone to flash flooding, while residents in flood-susceptible zones are encouraged to prepare contingency measures.
