KUALA LUMPUR: The monsoon rains that have hit the country are expected to taper off and weather conditions are expected to improve from tomorrow, according to the meteorological department (MetMalaysia).
In a statement today, the department said rain was expected in only one or two areas in the east coast of the peninsula and the east coast of Sabah.
“However, rain and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoons to early evenings in the west coast states of the peninsula, northern Sarawak as well as in Sabah’s east and west coasts,” it said.
First- and second-category warnings for strong winds and rough seas have been issued for shipping in the South China Sea until tomorrow.
