KUALA LUMPUR – The Meteorological Department has issued an alert-level continuous rain warning for seven states until this Sunday.

In a statement today, it said continuous heavy rain was expected to occur in Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak (Hulu Perak), Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang (Jerantut, Kuantan, and Pekan). 

In a separate statement, MetMalaysia also issued a warning of strong winds and rough seas of the first category expected to occur in Terengganu and Kelantan waters until Monday.

“Strong north-easterly winds of 40kph to 50kph with waves reaching up to 3.5m high may occur in Terengganu and Kelantan waters,” it said adding that strong winds are also expected in the waters of Samui, north of Tioman, Condore, Reef North, Layang-Layang, and Palawan throughout the period.

MetMalaysia warned that the rough conditions will make all shipping and coastal activities – including fishing, water recreational activities, and water sports – dangerous. – Bernama, December 1, 2022
