KUALA LUMPUR – Musim Monsun Barat Daya dijangka bermula pada 10 Mei 2025 dan akan berterusan sehingga September 2025 berikutan keadaan angin yang mula bertiup secara konsisten dari arah barat daya ke rantau ini.
Sepanjang musim ini, kadar kelembapan udara kelazimnnya adalah rendah menyebabkan kurangnya pembentukan awan hujan di kebanyakan tempat.
Sehubungan itu, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (Met Malaysia), Dr. Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip berkata, negara ini akan menerima jumlah hujan yang lebih rendah berbanding tempoh lain dengan bilangan hari tanpa hujan adalah lebih banyak berbanding bilangan hari hujan.
Walau bagaimanapun, hujan lebat berserta angin kencang dan ribut petir masih boleh berlaku di kawasan barat Semenanjung, utara Sarawak dan barat Sabah, terutamanya pada awal pagi berikutan kehadiran fenomena garis badai.
Semasa kemuncak musim ini pada Julai hingga September, fenomena jerebu setempat dan rentas sempadan boleh berlaku sekiranya aktiviti pembakaran terbuka tidak dikawal.
Oleh itu, beliau berkata, sebarang pembakaran terbuka haruslah dielakkan bagi mengurangkan bencana jerebu yang akan mencemarkan alam sekitar negara.
Beliau turut menyarankan orang ramai menggunakan air secara berhemah sepanjang tempoh ini. – MalaysiaGazette

LAWAS (May 6): Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) personnel from the Lawas station evacuated eight individuals after their home in Kampung Seberang Kedai Terusan was inundated by floodwaters this morning.
According to a spokesperson from the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Operations Centre, a team was dispatched to the scene located about 20 kilometres from the station after receiving an emergency call at 10am.
“Lawas Control Room officers received a report from the public regarding a flood incident caused by a high tide phenomenon, which resulted in water rising to approximately 1.5 feet inside the house,” the spokesperson said in a statement today.
All eight victims from the affected household were safely evacuated to a nearby road that had been identified as a secure location.
No temporary evacuation centre (PPS) was opened, as the water level was reported to be receding.
BANGKOK: The basement and surrounding area of the collapsed State Audit Office (SAO) building have been cleared, while officials continue the search for 13 missing individuals.
The search for trapped victims at the collapse site of the SAO building in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district progressed significantly on Tuesday (May 6), according to Suriyachai Rawiwan, Director of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office.
However, rescue teams have now fully cleared the concrete floor of the basement and surrounding area, covering approximately 40×40 metres.
“What remains is the collapsed section adjacent to parking zone B, which is about 3 metres tall and 15–20 metres wide,” he said. “Clearing this remaining debris is expected to take another 2–3 days.”
Meanwhile, officials plan to conduct DNA testing on 280 human body parts stored at the Police General Hospital’s Forensic Institute.
These will be compared against the list of the 13 missing persons. If all identities cannot be confirmed, authorities may need to reassess the total number of missing individuals, Suriyachai added.
The under-construction 30-storey building on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road collapsed on March 28 following an 8.2-magnitude earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar, trapping more than a hundred workers inside.
As of Tuesday, the BMA has reported a total of 109 victims from the incident. Of these, 87 have been confirmed dead, nine were injured, and 13 remain missing. - The Nation/ANN
KOTA KINABALU (May 6): The Sabah Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) has increased its manpower in preparation for the end of the Northeast Monsoon season in the state.
Its newly appointed director, Mohd Pisar Aziz, said various measures have been implemented, including the active involvement of 350 auxiliary firefighters.
“A total of 101 newly trained auxiliary firefighters have just completed their training, and we believe this addition will help ease the workload of full-time personnel while improving fire and rescue services, especially in rural and suburban areas,” he told the media after paying a courtesy visit to the Head of State of Sabah, Tun Musa Aman, at Istana Seri Kinabalu on Tuesday.
According to him, the visit aimed to brief the Head of State on the department’s flood response operations and to inform him of Mohd Pisar’s appointment as the new JBPM director, effective April 7.
“Aside from informing Tun Musa of my new appointment, I also shared updates on the department’s operations, including preparations for the tail end of the Northeast Monsoon season and the ongoing flood incidents in several districts such as Beaufort and Sook,” he said.
Before his posting in Sabah, Mohd Pisar served as the director of JBPM Melaka and has extensive experience in fire investigations and safety.
