Nine states on Level 1 heatwave alert
It is getting hotter by the day with temperatures in the peninsula “boiling” between 35°C and 40°C.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has put a district in Kedah on Level 2 heatwave alert while 23 districts in seven states and one federal territory in the peninsula are on Level 1 after temperatures increased.
Pendang in Kedah is the only district placed on Level 2 alert after recording temperatures between 37°C and 40°C.
The 23 areas in the seven states are Chuping in Perlis; Kota Setar, Sik, Baling and Kulim in Kedah; Hulu Perak, Kuala Kangsar, Kinta and Batang Padang in Perak; and Jerantut, Raub, Temerloh, Maran and Bentong in Pahang.
Also listed are Kuala Selangor, Kelang, Hulu Selangor, Sepang and Petaling in Selangor; Jelebu and Rembau in Negri Sembilan; Tangkak in Johor; and Kuala Lumpur.The other regions, including Sabah and Sarawak, recorded temperatures below 35°C.
“The hot weather is due to the lack of cloud cover and low rainfall during the end of the north-east monsoon,” said MetMalaysia director-general Datuk Alui Bahari.
He said such extreme temperatures were usual during the end of the north-east monsoon period, adding that the heatwave was expected to subside next month with more rainfall.
He added that Malaysia was experiencing a weak El Nino (irregular weather phenomenon) but did not expect it to be as severe as the 2016 El Nino.
“The highest daily temperature recorded was 40.1°C in Chuping on April 9, 1998, during the 1997-1998 Super El Nino,” he said.
Meanwhile, the National Water Services Commission reiterated its advice for people to conserve water during the hot spell.
“We have been advising the people since February to use water wisely,” it said.
On the MetMalaysia Facebook page, Malaysians were seen reminding each other to take care during the heatwave.
“Woah heatwave! Drink lots of water ya,” Fadhil Saufi said.
“The weather in Penaga is so hot even my cat is running into the bedroom to find a cool place to relax,” Putera Katak said.

Expect delays at checkpoints over school holidays
Expect delays at checkpoints over school holidays
Those planning a trip to Malaysia during the upcoming March school holidays should be prepared to face heavy traffic at the land checkpoints from tomorrow to March 24.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) advised motorists yesterday that traffic is likely to be extra heavy at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints over this weekend and the next. Travellers should expect delays over the one-week school holiday period and are advised to adjust their travel plans where necessary, it said.
With security checks, traffic build-up at the checkpoints is inevitable, ICA also said.
It reminded travellers against carrying prohibited items such as "pop-pop" firecrackers or chewing gum through the checkpoints. When bringing in dutiable or controlled items such as eggs, meat products and potted plants, they should declare them to ICA officers prior to checks.
ICA also noted "many instances" of queue-cutting by motorists during peak periods.
"ICA advises against this as it can cause severe congestion and compromise motorists' safety," it said, reminding motorists to observe traffic rules, maintain lane discipline and cooperate with checkpoint officers.
Motorists are advised to check the traffic situation at the checkpoints before embarking on their trip. They can do so via the One Motoring website or Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System installed on the Bukit Timah and Ayer Rajah expressways. Motorists can also check the ICA's Facebook page or call the traffic information hotline on 6863-0117.
