KUALA LUMPUR: Heavy rain and thunderstorm hitting most parts of the west coast of the peninsula is not an extraordinary or extreme weather phenomenon, says Department of Meteorology Malaysia (MetMalaysia) director-general, Jailan Simon.
He explained that this condition was due to the country currently going through the monsoon transition phase which usually caused heavy rain and thunderstorm over a short period in the evening or early part of the night.
