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.
