Kelantan and Labuan face the brunt of an incoming weather system expected to bring thunderstorms and heavy rainfall tonight, according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department. The severe weather front is anticipated to create hazardous conditions across both regions, with potential impacts on transport, utilities and daily activities.
Beyond these two primary affected areas, several other states in Peninsular Malaysia will experience adverse weather conditions, with knock-on effects also expected in Sabah and Sarawak. The geographic extent of the weather system underscores the broad nature of the disturbance moving across the country.
Residents in affected areas have been urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Authorities recommend avoiding unnecessary travel during peak rainfall periods and securing loose outdoor items that could be damaged by strong winds. Motorists are advised to exercise increased caution on roads, particularly those prone to flooding.
The meteorological department is continuing to monitor the weather system and is expected to provide further updates as conditions develop. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official weather advisories and local authorities for the latest guidance.
