Something Really Weird Is Happening With Our Weather, Guys!

It's not a good sign if even the experts don't know what's going on, right?

The Met Department director-general Alui Bahari told The Star Online that it wasn't supposed to rain during this period of time, and the recent shift in weather conditions had experts scratching their heads.

Normally, the weather would be hot and dry this time of the year, he added.

The Northeast Monsoon is supposed to start in October and last all the way to March, so the sudden and unexpected downpour in August is definitely a little bit peculiar.

So, what's causing this sudden rainfall?

Although the weather patterns are a little bit erratic these days, Bahari told the news portal that it's not something to be worried about.

The downpour in Peninsular Malaysia, according to Bahari, was caused by the north-westerly winds coming from the Indian Ocean. These winds reportedly bring high humidity to Malaysia.

The rainfall in Sabah and Sarawak, meanwhile, was reportedly caused by high moisture levels in the air and active oscillation. When you combine them both, thunderstorms happen, Bahari told The Star Online.

Bahari added that we can expect the rain to stop by Friday, so, there's really nothing to be worried about.
