With the recent cold and rainy weather, there has been many rumours that Malaysians would soon be able to enjoy “London weather” that have been making its way around on social media.
We’re sorry to say that those rumours are just, rumours.

Claims that our tropical country would soon be experiencing cold weather just like in London in February have been making its way around on WhatsApp and various social media platforms.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) however has come forward to deny these claims and shared that this is false information that had previously been spread in 2016.
In its statement, MetMalaysia also shared that the cold weather condition that’s currently being experienced in most areas in the peninsula, especially the East Coast and West Coast, is due to the continuous humid and cloudy weather we’ve been having for several days and the cold winds that come with it.
In addition to that, the continuous cloudy conditions and the absence of sunlight for several days have contributed to the caller weather.
The public have been advised to get their authentic weather forecast from MetMalaysia’s official website and social media, or through the myCuaca application or hotline at 1-300-22-1638.
In case this hasn’t been said enough, please do not rely on information that’s been passed on via WhatsApp or social media sites as that information has not been authenticated and may be false - as in this case.

It’d definitely would have been cool to have London weather in Malaysia but we still love our country no matter how hot, rainy and humid it may get.
Please be sure to always authenticate your information with official sites before spreading them.
Share this with someone you know who thought we’d be getting London weather!
