KUALA LUMPUR: Residents in low-lying and coastal areas of Selangor have been urged to remain vigilant following the forecast of a high tide phenomenon, with water levels expected to reach up to 5.2 metres (m) tomorrow.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department operations assistant director, Ashrul Riezal Asbar, said the forecast was based on projections by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), with water levels in Klang recorded at 5.1 metres today.
He said the situation could lead to water flows from the Sungai Buloh and Ijok areas to converge with the high tide, thereby increasing the risk of flooding in low-lying areas.
"As such, we urge residents in coastal and low-lying areas, such as around Kuala Selangor, to remain vigilant and make early preparations," he said.
