The Monsoon Transition Phase is expected to start on the 19th of September 2023 and continue until November 2023. The start of this phase marks the end of the Southwest Monsoon which has started since 15th May 2023.
During the Monsoon Transition phase, the country’s region will receive low winds from various directions that are conducive to thunderstorms that usually bring heavy rain and strong winds in a short period of time. This incident happened mainly in the evening and early night in most areas in the states on the west coast and interior of the Peninsula, western Sabah and western and central Sarawak.
These weather conditions have the potential to cause flash flooding as well as damage to unsound structures.
The public is advised to be more vigilant during this period and always be aware of weather forecasts and warnings issued by the Malaysian Meteorological Department through the official website, myCuaca mobile application and the Department’s official social media.
The public can also call the Department’s Hotline 1-300-22-1638 for any further questions.
