Meanwhile, a low-pressure weather system is forming in the South China Sea and is expected to surge westbound.
“The condition will increase potential humidity, leading to continuous rain in the east coast and north Malaysia together with strong winds and rough seas in the South China Sea,” it said today.
The department also predicted that thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds have high potential in other states too.
In a separate post, the department mentioned some affected areas under the “bad” category are in Terengganu and Kelantan, consisting of Tumpat, Pasir Mas, Kota Bharu, Jeli, Tanah Merah, Bachok, Machang, Pasir Puteh and Kuala Krai, which will experience continuous rainstorms until Sunday.
