Meteorological Department Alerts Public to Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms in Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — The Meteorological Department has issued an alert for Sarawak, Sabah and the Federal Territory of Labuan, warning of frequent afternoon and evening thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall until Tuesday.

In its bulletin, MetMalaysia explained that a northeasterly wind flow interacting with a low‐pressure system over the South China Sea is generating unstable weather across East Malaysia. Localised intense downpours may cause flash flooding and poor visibility on highways, especially in highland and flood‐susceptible districts.

Key points of the advisory:
• Timing: Thunderstorms and heavy showers are most likely between 3 pm and 9 pm each day until Tuesday.
• Affected areas: All divisions in Sarawak (including Miri, Bintulu, Sibu and Kuching), Sabah (from Kota Kinabalu to Tawau) and Labuan.
• Hazards: Possible flash floods, lightning strikes, strong gusts and water accumulation on low‐lying roads.

MetMalaysia advises motorists to slow down on wet roads and residents in hillside or known flood‐prone areas to take precautions such as clearing drains and securing loose roof panels. Fishermen and recreational boaters are also encouraged to postpone voyages until the weather calms.

Further updates will be released as the situation evolves. Residents should monitor the department’s website and official social‐media channels for the latest weather warnings.
