Ready for floods and extreme heat? North-east monsoon begins Oct 27, MetMalaysia warns

The 2026/2027 Northeast Monsoon is set to start on October 27, bringing heavy rain and potential flooding until March.

The monsoon may cause strong winds, rough seas, and decreased rainfall from January to March, leading to potential heatwaves.

MetMalaysia advises the public to stay informed via their website, mobile app, social media, or hotline.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — The 2026/2027 North-east Monsoon (MTL) is expected to begin on October 27 and continue until March next year, according to Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip.

He said between three and five episodes of continuous heavy rain were expected to affect the country during the initial phase of the monsoon, from November to January.

He said the situation could lead to flooding in low-lying areas and locations near rivers.

“Continuous strong north-easterly winds could also cause rough seas and rising sea levels in the South China Sea,” he said in a media statement today.

As the monsoon enters its final phase, from January to March 2027, Mohd Hisham said rainfall was expected to decrease, particularly in the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah.

He said the conditions would bring hot, dry weather, with the potential for more extreme heatwaves due to the ongoing Super El Niño phenomenon.

In this regard, he advised the public to remain prepared for weather conditions throughout the 2026/2027 North-east Monsoon and to stay alert to weather information, advisories, forecasts and warnings issued by MetMalaysia.

2026/2027 年东北季风预计将于 10 月 27 日开始，带来强降雨和潜在的洪水，一直持续到 3 月。

季风可能导致1月至3月出现强风、巨浪和降雨量减少，从而引发潜在的热浪。

马来西亚气象局建议公众通过其网站、手机应用程序、社交媒体或热线电话了解最新信息。

吉隆坡，10 月 23 日讯——马来西亚气象局（MetMalaysia）总监莫哈末·希沙姆·莫哈末·阿尼普博士表示，2026/2027 年东北季风预计将于 10 月 27 日开始，并持续到明年 3 月。

他表示，预计在季风初期（11 月至 1 月）该国将受到三到五次持续强降雨的影响。

他说，这种情况可能导致地势低洼地区和河流附近地区发生洪水。

“持续强劲的东北风也可能导致南海海况恶劣和海平面上升，”他今天在一份媒体声明中表示。

莫哈末希沙姆表示，随着季风进入最后阶段（2027 年 1 月至 3 月），预计降雨量将减少，尤其是在马来西亚半岛北部各州和沙巴州。

他表示，这种情况将带来炎热干燥的天气，并且由于持续的超级厄尔尼诺现象，可能会出现更极端的热浪。

在这方面，他建议公众在 2026/2027 年东北季风期间做好应对各种天气状况的准备，并密切关注马来西亚气象局发布的天气信息、建议、预报和警告。
