The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued a thunderstorm warning for several regions, including parts of Perlis, Kedah, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, and Sarawak. The warning, announced on their official Facebook page, indicates that thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds are expected in the affected areas until 6 p.m. today.
MetMalaysia issues such warnings when signs indicate that thunderstorms with rainfall intensity exceeding 20 mm per hour are imminent or expected to occur for more than an hour. These warnings are short-term advisories valid for no more than six hours from the time of issuance.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions against sudden downpours, potential flash floods, and reduced visibility.
For the most current information and updates, residents should monitor official communications from MetMalaysia and local authorities.
