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.
