According to the MET Malaysia Director Muhammad Helmi, the entire country will experience weak winds from all directions which would highly result in the occurrence of thunderstorms and heavy rain. The MET Department anticipated the thunderstorms to occur in the evening and early nights in most west coast and rural states in Peninsular, west Sabah and central Sarawak.
