KUALA LUMPUR: Ribut Tropika Senyar adalah fenomena pertama yang terbentuk di Selat Melaka dan dikesan jarang berlaku.
Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (MetMalaysia), Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip berkata, ia terbentuk berikutan gabungan beberapa faktor cuaca luar biasa termasuk fenomena La Nina.
“Ini adalah kejadian pertama ribut tropika melintasi Selat Melaka.
“Ia berlaku kerana gabungan kelembapan tinggi, air laut hangat dan sistem tekanan rendah di Thailand yang berinteraksi dengan angin sejuk dari China,” katanya pada sidang media, hari ini.
Malaysia sebelum ini ujarnya, hanya merekodkan dua kejadian ribut tropika seumpamanya.
“Ini akan menjadi ribut tropika ketiga yang melanda negara selepas Greg yang melanda Sabah pada 26 Disember 1996 dan Vamei yang melanda selatan Semenanjung Malaysia pada 26 Disember 2001,” tambahnya.
Beliau berkata, pembentukan fenomena itu turut menarik perhatian dunia.
SHAH ALAM: Selangor bersiap siaga menghadapi Ribut Tropika Senyar yang kini sedang bergerak merentasi Selat Melaka, menuju ke pesisir Pantai Barat, khususnya kawasan antara sempadan negeri ini dan Perak.
Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari berkata, memandangkan ini kali pertama Selangor berhadapan ribut tropika, beberapa persiapan dilakukan, termasuk mengaktifkan semua jentera di peringkat negeri, daerah dan pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT).
“Sekiranya hujan berterusan menyebabkan paras air naik secara mendadak, sebanyak 1,173 pusat pemindahan sementara (PPS) seluruh negeri berada dalam mod siap sedia dan ia mampu menampung sehingga 244,000 penduduk.
“Ini termasuk sekolah, masjid, dewan dan balai raya dan semua PPS ini dilengkapi dengan keperluan asas yang sewajarnya,” katanya dalam kenyataan, hari ini.
Beliau berkata, sebanyak 344 jentera seperti kenderaan pacuan empat roda dan lori muatan berat serta 227 unit bot ditempatkan di kawasan strategik seluruh negeri, untuk tujuan kecemasan penghantaran barang keperluan asas serta sebarang operasi mencari dan menyelamat mangsa bencana.
Katanya, agensi berkaitan turut diarahkan supaya melakukan pemeriksaan keselamatan terhadap setiap unit kenderaan berkenaan supaya dapat terus dikerah untuk menghadapi sebarang situasi kecemasan.
“Kita juga mempunyai 45 stesen amaran siren di seluruh negeri yang akan diaktifkan sekiranya dijangka paras air akan menaiki tahap bahaya.
“Saya menyeru setiap rakyat Selangor untuk berada dalam keadaan siap siaga bagi sebarang amaran serta arahan pemindahan yang diberikan oleh pegawai berkuasa ataupun ketua komuniti masing-masing.
“Sekiranya siren di kawasan perumahan anda dibunyikan dan arahan pemindahan diberikan, patuhi arahan pemindahan tersebut dan daftarkan diri anda sekeluarga di PPS yang terdekat,” katanya.
Mengulas lanjut, Amirudin berkata, keutamaan kini adalah memastikan setiap rakyat Selangor berada dalam keadaan yang selamat.
Katanya, kerajaan negeri akan terus berhubung rapat dengan Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia menerusi Unit Pengurusan Bencana Negeri serta Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara.
Beliau berkata, sebarang pemakluman rasmi situasi cuaca akan dikemaskini mengikut perkembangan di platform media sosial utama Jabatan Meterologi Malaysia serta laman web www.met.gov.my.
Tropical storm Senyar to hit west coast tonight, Klang Valley may see heaviest rainfall

PETALING JAYA: Tropical storm Senyar is expected to make landfall on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia tonight.
Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said based on official predictions monitoring the weather system, it is expected to make landfall at the area between the border of Selangor and Perak.
"Based on forecasts from one of the regional centres in India that monitor tropical cyclones and storm activity, we expect the landfall to occur between the Perak–Selangor border, possibly around midnight.
"Currently the rainbands from the storm have reached the country, but the eye of the storm may reach land around midnight or shortly after," he said at an emergency press conference at the MetMalaysia headquarters, here.
Hisham however said that he was concerned about the storm's eye as the areas outside the eye or rainbands, usually brings the heaviest rainfall.
"Usually, the eye itself does not produce heavy rain; it is the surrounding areas, particularly the region we refer to as the southeast or southwest portion, that experience the most intense rainfall.
"This is why we are particularly cautious about the Klang Valley area," he said.
Hisham added that the storm, once making landfall, is expected to move across the peninsula towards the South China Sea.
"This means today, tonight and tomorrow it will make landfall, and possibly by tomorrow night or early Saturday morning, it will reach the east coast," he said.
Earlier, it was reported that Senyar is moving towards the west coast of peninsular Malaysia and is currently located 102km southwest of Lumut, Perak.
The weather system is currently at 3.6 degrees north, 99.9 degrees east off northern Sumatra and is tracking east-southeast into the Straits of Malacca about 24kph.
Yesterday, Hisham told the New Straits Times that Senyar is the first weather system to reach such intensity in the Straits of Melaka.
KUALA LUMPUR: More than 6,000 Malaysians stranded by the floods in Thailand have safely returned home since the rescue mission began last Sunday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He said the government, through the Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra), continues to closely monitor the situation and will expedite assistance wherever necessary.
The rescue effort, he said, was made possible with the support of nearly 20 Malaysian volunteer organisations working alongside Wisma Putra, including 13 volunteer firefighters, in addition to assistance from the Thai authorities.
"I am deeply moved by the courage and perseverance of our volunteer team who were willing to wade through the flood and face risks to save Malaysians.
"My deepest appreciation and salute to our heroes," he said in a Facebook post today.
Anwar also thanked Wisma Putra, the Malaysian embassy in Thailand, the Consulate-General in Songkhla, Thai authorities, local rescue teams, and Universiti Utara Malaysia's management for their coordination in evacuating 36 students and two lecturers from UUM who were stranded in Hat Yai.
He said the hard work and commitment of all parties in ensuring their safety reflects a high level of concern and a strong spirit of togetherness, regardless of religion, race or background.
"I urge that we continue to pray that every step of the volunteers and our entire team will be facilitated in continuing the mission of bringing back Malaysians who are still trapped in Thailand.
"The government, through Wisma Putra, will continue to closely monitor this situation and provide assistance as soon as possible," he said.
