KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued a danger-level continuous rain warning for Besut, Setiu, Kuala Nerus, and Kuala Terengganu in Terengganu, with the situation expected to persist until Friday.
MetMalaysia director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said that several other districts in Terengganu — namely Hulu Terengganu, Marang, Dungun, and Kemaman — as well as the entire state of Kelantan, had also been issued a severe continuous rain warning for today.
He said that an alert-level continuous rain warning had been issued for Perlis, Hulu Perak in Perak, and several areas in Kedah, including Langkawi, Kubang Pasu, Pokok Sena, Padang Terap, Sik, and Baling.
A similar warning remains in effect until tomorrow for Cameron Highlands, Lipis, Jerantut, and Kuantan in Pahang.
The same weather conditions are expected from Friday to Saturday in Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Negri Sembilan, Melaka, and parts of Kedah, including Kulim and Bandar Baharu, as well as in Johor, covering Tangkak and Segamat.
MetMalaysia has also issued a tropical storm Senyar warning for waters some 268km southwest of Lumut, Perak, which is likely to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas to the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia.
