KUALA LUMPUR (May 7): The Southwest Monsoon is expected to begin on May 10 and continue until September, marked by winds blowing consistently from the southwest across the country.
Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said that during the Southwest Monsoon, lower humidity levels typically lead to reduced rain cloud formation across most areas.
“As a result, the country will experience reduced rainfall during this period, with more dry days than rainy ones.
“However, heavy rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms may still occur in the western parts of the Peninsula, northern Sarawak, and the western part of Sabah, particularly in the early morning, due to the squall line phenomenon. This occurs when winds converge, creating a line of thunderstorms which can last for several hours,” he said in a statement today.
During the peak of the season, from July to September, there is a possibility of local and cross-border haze if open burning activities are not effectively managed.
He stressed that open burning should be strictly avoided to help mitigate haze and prevent environmental pollution, while also urging the public to use water sparingly during this period.
For the latest weather updates, the public can visit the official MetMalaysia website, download the myCuaca mobile app, follow the department’s official social media channels, or contact the hotline at 1-300-22-1638 for any further inquiries. – Bernama
Dungun: Pasangan suami isteri bersama lima anak berusia antara tiga dan 21 tahun yang terpaksa menghuni pondok berdindingkan kanvas dan berlantaikan kertas tebal bakal berpindah ke kediaman baharu, Ogos ini.
Pengurus Besar Lembaga Kemajuan Terengganu Tengah (Ketengah), Datuk Tengku Ahmad Nadzri Tengku Musa, berkata surat setuju terima (SST) kepada kontraktor yang dilantik untuk kerja-kerja pembinaan kediaman baharu kepada pasangan suami isteri itu sudah dikeluarkan.
Katanya, kerja tapak untuk pembinaan kediaman baharu kepada pasangan itu sudah dimulakan dan rumah itu dijangka siap serta boleh didiami dalam tempoh 14 minggu iaitu pada pertengahan Ogos depan.
"KKDW sudah meluluskan peruntukan di bawah kategori baik pulih program perumahan rakyat sejahtera (PPRS) dan Program Perumahan Rakyat Termiskin (PPRT) untuk kerja baik pulih kediaman kepada pasangan suami isteri itu pada April tahun lalu.
"Tetapi siasatan mendapati rumah asal yang rosak ditenggelami banjir pada akhir 2023 lalu tidak ekonomik dan melebihi kos diluluskan untuk dibaik pulih," katanya dalam satu kenyataan.
Terdahulu, Harian Metro melaporkan sepasang suami isteri dan lima anak berusia antara tiga dan 21 tahun hidup daif di pondok buruk berdindingkan kanvas dan zink serta berlantaikan kertas tebal sejak dua tahun lalu, selepas kediamannya di Kampung Shukur, Pasir Raja, Hulu Dungun rosak dilanda banjir besar pada Disember 2023 lalu.
Tengku Nor Shahida Tengku Hashim, 41, dan suami, Tengku Hassan Tengku Jaafar, 48, terpaksa tinggal dalam pondok buruk yang berpendapatan hanya RM50 sehari tidak mampu untuk membayar rumah sewa selepas kediaman rosak dilanda banjir.
Mengulas lanjut, Tengku Ahmad Nadzri berkata, KKDW sudah meluluskan peruntukan di bawah kategori projek pembinaan kediaman baharu kepada pasangan berkenaan.
Katanya, kediaman baharu untuk Tengku Nor Shahida dan Tengku Hassan akan dibina di atas tapak milikan keluarga pasangan berkenaan dan didirikan di lokasi bebas daripada bencana banjir.
Tengku Ahmad Nadzri berkata, pihaknya mengenal pasti sebanyak 84 kediaman penduduk di kampung berkenaan mengalami kerosakan selepas dilanda banjir besar pada akhir Disember 2023 lalu.
Katanya, KKDW meluluskan peruntukan keseluruhan kira-kira RM1.6 juta untuk kerja membaikpulih 76 kediaman yang rosak dan membina lapan rumah baharu yang rosak dilanda banjir.

KOTA KINABALU (May 7): The Southwest Monsoon is expected to begin on May 10 and continue until September, as winds start blowing consistently from the southwest toward the country. During this season, humidity levels are typically low, resulting in reduced cloud formation and less rainfall in most areas, the Meterological Department said in a statement on Wednesday.
Consequently, the country will receive lower rainfall compared to other periods, with more rainless days than rainy days.
However, heavy rain accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms can still occur in the western Sabah, northern Sarawak, and Peninsula, particularly in the early morning due to the squall line phenomenon. A squall line is a series of thunderstorms formed by wind convergence and can persist for several hours.
During the peak of the monsoon (July to September), local and transboundary haze may occur if open burning activities are not controlled. Therefore, open burning should be avoided to reduce haze pollution that harms the country’s environment. The public is also advised to use water wisely during this period.
