Longer droughts, flashier floods, muddier landslides, and tornadoes! We take a look at some of the year’s weather extremes from around Malaysia.

It’s not as if we didn’t have prior warning. Climate change scientists have been giving us environmental doomsday stories for years – Hollywood even turned some of them into blockbuster movies. Still, whether or not the more extreme weather we've been experiencing can be connected to the effects of climate change remains inconclusive.
