Hot weather expected to last until end of August

Brace yourselves, you guys. Expect the return of the monster electricity bill with this one.

The heat you’re complaining about? It’s going to last until the end of August.

The Malaysian Malaysian Meteoro­logical Department’s National Weather Centre senior meteorologist Dr Hisham Mohd Anip told The Star Online that the country is in the ‘active phase of the south-west monsoon’.

“It is normal to have this kind of weather (hot and dry) during this period,” he was quoted as saying. 

According to the portal, MetMalaysia stations have been marking temperatures of between 33°C and 35°C daily. 

But here’s the good news though: things aren’t expected to heat up as high as 38°C — the spike recorded by the department between February and March.
