Residents and travellers in Perak, Pahang and Sarawak have been alerted by the Meteorological Department to brace for recurring thunderstorms and substantial rainfall in the coming days. From today onwards, many areas are likely to see overcast skies by late afternoon, with lightning strikes, strong gusts and abrupt heavy showers forming quickly.

In Perak, especially the northern and central regions around Taiping, Ipoh and nearby highlands, scattered heavy showers could occur, potentially causing minor flash flooding in low-lying villages. Inland Pahang, notably the Cameron Highlands and the Bentong corridor, may experience severe, slow-progressing storms that can result in water pooling on roadways and hillside terrain.

Meanwhile in Sarawak, the interior divisions of Sarikei, Kapit and Sibu are predicted to face the worst of these rough conditions. Authorities have been advised to keep a close watch on rivers and drainage networks, as sustained heavy rain could cause water levels to rise and overflow.

The department urges drivers to reduce speed on waterlogged, slick roads and advises riverside communities to have sandbags ready. Fishermen and marine enthusiasts off the coasts of Pahang and Sarawak should delay non-critical trips until weather conditions stabilize. With an increased threat of lightning, anyone outdoors should seek immediate cover, steering clear of open fields, tall trees and metal frameworks.

This period of turbulent weather is likely to subside by midweek, yet residents are encouraged to stay tuned to the department’s bulletins and comply with any additional advisories.
