Monsoon transition begins Oct 9, bringing thunderstorms, flash flood and fallen tree risks, MetMalaysia warns

The monsoon transition phase in Malaysia will start on October 9 and continue until late October, ending the South-west Monsoon.

This period will bring heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds, increasing risks of flash floods and property damage.

The public is advised to stay informed via METMalaysia's website and other communication channels due to the changing weather conditions.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 6 — The monsoon transition phase is expected to begin on October 9 and continue until late October, marking the end of the South-west Monsoon, which began on May 14.

Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said in a statement today that during this phase, the country will experience weak winds blowing from various directions, which are conducive to the formation of thunderstorm clouds.

“This situation typically brings heavy rain and lightning accompanied by strong winds over a short period, particularly during the afternoon and early evening in most areas in the west and interior of the Peninsula, as well as western Sabah and Sarawak.

“These weather phenomena have the potential to cause flash floods, water surges, fallen trees, and damage to unstable structures,” he said.

He added that with the end of the South-west Monsoon, transboundary haze from neighbouring countries is expected to gradually diminish following changes in wind patterns.

As such, the public is advised to exercise greater caution during this period and stay informed about weather forecasts and warnings issued by METMalaysia through its official website, myCuaca mobile application, and official social media platforms.

The public can also contact the department’s hotline at 1-300-22-1638 for further enquiries, he said. — Bernama

马来西亚的季风过渡阶段将于10月9日开始，一直持续到10月下旬，西南季风结束。

这段时间将带来强降雨、闪电和大风，增加山洪暴发和财产损失的风险。

由于天气状况不断变化，建议公众通过马来西亚气象局的网站和其他通讯渠道了解最新信息。

布城，10月6日讯——季风过渡阶段预计将于10月9日开始，并持续到10月下旬，这标志着始于5月14日的西南季风的结束。

马来西亚气象局（MetMalaysia）总监莫哈末·希沙姆·莫哈末·阿尼普博士今天在一份声明中表示，在此阶段，马来西亚将出现来自各个方向的微弱风，这有利于雷暴云的形成。

“这种情况通常会在短时间内带来强风暴雨和闪电，尤其是在半岛西部和内陆的大部分地区，以及沙巴西部和砂拉越的下午和傍晚。

他说：“这些天气现象有可能引发山洪暴发、洪水、树木倒塌以及不稳定建筑物的损坏。”

他还补充说，随着西南季风的结束，来自邻国的跨境雾霾预计将随着风向的变化而逐渐减少。

因此，建议公众在此期间更加谨慎，并通过马来西亚气象局的官方网站、myCuaca 手机应用程序和官方社交媒体平台随时了解天气预报和警告。
