MetMalaysia: Dry weather expected soon in Klang Valley
The downpours causing flash floods in parts of the Klang Valley are expected to give way to dry weather this month, said the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).
While the southwest monsoon, which started on May 17, was generally associated with lower rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, the reduction was a gradual process, said MetMalaysia director-general Alui Bahari.
“The current wet weather is forecast to gradually subside, starting this month, after the wind patterns of the southwest monsoon strengthen and become uniform.
“From June, the amount of rainfall in the Klang Valley will gradually reduce,” Alui said.
Despite heavy rain in the evenings the past week, data from meteorological stations in Klang Valley for last month showed that the rainfall was within normal levels, he said.
He added that the dry weather expected to start this month was not expected to be severe.
Alui said the southwest monsoon was expected to last until September and will be followed by the intermonsoon period beginning October.
During that period, the west coast of the peninsula, including the Klang Valley, will experience thunderstorms, especially in the evenings.
According to the MetMalaysia website, there are four seasons in Malaysia – southwest monsoon (May to September), northeast monsoon (early November to March), and the intermonsoon periods.
The northeast monsoon tends to bring heavy rain to the east coast of peninsular Malaysia, the western part of Sarawak, and the northeast of Sabah.
