For the past few days, the hot and humid weather in the Klang Valley has frustrated many of us. The temperature was averaging about 35°C, and it’s been causing major discomfort to citizens. However, the Malaysian Meteorological Department reports that it’s due to the changing wind patterns and the effects of the cyclonic storm Mahesan over the Bay of Bengal.
A spokesperson explained that changing win patterns during the current inter-monsoon season in the country’s west coast caused less cloud coverage over the Klang Valley, causing the days to be hotter. The lack in cloud coverage also decreased the shielding from the sun’s rays in the area.He also said that the April monsoon season has just ended and we are entering the South-East monsoon at the end of the month. Once the wind pattern stabilizes, we will get more rain.
“Currently, the temperature in the Klang Valley is averaging at around 35°C but we can expect it to drop towards the end of the month,” he said.
He added that the inter-monsoon dry spell had lasted longer that usual, and that the cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal had driven moisture from around the region into it.
