KUALA LUMPUR – The continuous rain warning for areas in east Sabah in effect until tomorrow could potentially extend until January 3, said the Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).

MetMalaysia said in a statement today that the situation was due to the monsoon surge, while thunderstorms were also expected to occur throughout Sabah.

It urged all parties to remain vigilant and follow the directives issued from time to time.

On December 24, the department had issued a continuous rain warning for areas in eastern Sabah, namely Lahad Datu, Telupid, Kinabatangan, Beluran, Sandakan, and Kudat, effective until tomorrow.

Apart from that, it said winds blowing from the northeast could potentially bring continuous rainfall that could cause flooding in low-lying areas. – Bernama, December 27, 2021
