Heavy rains in east coast peninsula and western Sarawak till Jan

The states in the east coast of the peninsula, as well as western Sarawak, are expected to receive heavy rainfall that could trigger floods during the northeast monsoon season from this month until January.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Madius Tangau said during the period, the Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) expected the country to receive heavy rainfall of up to five times than average that could lead to massive floods.

“For the peninsula, Kelantan and Terengganu are expected to receive heavy rainfall of 700 millimetres (mm) in November and December, while Pahang and eastern Johor are expected to receive 400 mm rain in December and January.

“This situation can cause floods especially in the low-lying and flood-prone areas,” he said this during a question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

He was replying to a question from Noraini Ahmad (BN-Parit Sulong) who wanted to know whether the northeast monsoon is viewed as a phenomenon that would cause major floods and other disasters and the ministry’s preparedness in monitoring it.
