If you can feel the heat rising at your place, you’re likely not imagining it. The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued a Level 1 heatwave alert for some areas.
A Level 1 heatwave warning is issued when temperatures at a location are between 35 and 37 degrees Celcius for three consecutive days.
These are the areas under the Level 1 heatwave alert:
- Perlis
- Langkawi
- Kubang Pasu
- Kota Setar
- Pokok Sena
- Pendang
- Kulim
- Baling, Sik
- Padang Terap, Kedah
- Kuala Kangsar, Perak
- Central Seberang Prai, Penang
Over in Sabah, Beaufort also receives the Level 1 heatwave warning.
The country, especially the northern part of the Peninsular, is seeing the end of the northeast monsoon in March and the start of the El Nino phenomenon.
What precautions can you take?
This period usually sees drier and warmer conditions. The usual precautions to take include drinking plenty of water, wearing breathable clothing, and staying indoors as much as you can.
