Storm and heavy-rain advisory for Selangor, Perak and Sarawak until 3 pm

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Meteorological Department has released an alert for storms and heavy rainfall in Selangor, Perak and Sarawak until 3 pm today. Scattered heavy showers with strong winds and thunder are forecast across these states as unsettled air lingers.

People in low elevations and flood-vulnerable zones should remain vigilant for surging water and sudden floods. Drivers are advised to be extra careful, particularly on highways and waterlogged roads, and to keep their headlights on for better visibility. Inhabitants near hillsides or steep areas should also monitor for ground shifts and falling materials.

The agency warns that abrupt wind blasts could snap tree limbs and send loose items flying. Residents are advised to fasten or move any unsecured belongings—like potted plants, umbrellas or tarps—until the weather clears. Fishermen and owners of small vessels are urged to stay ashore, as high seas and powerful winds create dangerous offshore conditions.

State and municipal agencies remain on alert to manage any incidents. Flood relief hubs and emergency crews are prepared for rapid deployment. People can follow live updates on the Met Department’s website or official social media platforms and must heed guidance from the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) and local councils.

This period of rain forms part of the transitional weather pattern impacting the peninsula and East Malaysia as the inter-monsoon season approaches. The Meteorological Department will review conditions later today and might prolong or cancel the alert depending on updated radar and satellite observations.
