Perak, Selangor and Pahang expected to be worst hit among 10 areas
-
PETALING JAYA - Tropical storm Senyar is expected to hit 10 locations in Malaysia, with continuous heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas.
In an emergency media conference on Nov 27, Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said this is the first time a tropical storm is reaching such strength.
The storm is predicted to affect Kedah, Penang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Negri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor.
Perak, Selangor and Pahang are expected to be the worst hit by Senyar before it moves to the east coast.
“Based on projections from India’s Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre, the storm is expected to make landfall around the Perak-Selangor border, likely around midnight or after. The Klang Valley is an area of concern,” said Dr Mohd Hisham. Winds may reach up to 50kmh, he added.
