Ushering in a rainy new year


PETALING JAYA: Malaysians will likely usher in a wet new year, with a mild monsoon surge expected to occur between Dec 30 and Jan 2.

Lasting one to two days, the surge will bring with it intermittent rain, or showers that stop, only to continue again. Fortunately, the rainfall is not expected to be too severe, said Malaysian Meteorological Department director-general Datuk Che Gayah Ismail.
