Mar 25, 2024

MetMalaysia says the hot and dry spell could ease by mid-April, due to the inter-monsoon period that is expected to start this Friday.  

It will bring heavy rain and strong winds in the evening to the west coast and interior of the Peninsular, western Sabah, and the southern and central regions of Sarawak.  

Meanwhile MetMalaysia says Perlis and Beaufort, Sabah were under a Level-2 Heatwave Alert today, with temperatures of between 37-40 degrees Celsius.  

Every state nationwide also had areas that were under a less severe Level-1 alert, except for Penang and Terengganu.
