Malaysian meteorologists warned that a stationary low-pressure zone hovering above the Malacca Strait threatens to drench the peninsula's northern and western regions through midweek. The weather system sits nearly motionless near coordinates 5.4°N, 98.3°E before tracking toward the Bay of Bengal within 36 hours, likely triggering dangerous maritime conditions and sustained downpours.
Authorities issued multilevel rainfall advisories spanning Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Pahang, and Selangor while forecasters downplayed cyclone development risks. Recent deluges have already submerged communities along the Thai-Malaysian frontier, prompting emergency responses across Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu as waterways swell past alarm thresholds.
