As Peninsula Malaysia enters the second half of the 2011/2012 northeast monsoon season, it inevitably means less clouds and more of the sun’s rays, according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department.
The heat from the sun relatively raised the temperature, hence the hot weather currently experienced by the federal capital, a department spokesman told Bernama yesterday.
He said improved weather in the northern and eastern states of the peninsula after heavy showers similarly affected Kuala Lumpur.
The hot spells were therefore, a normal phenomenon, as the northeast monsoon tapered to an end in the middle of this month, which for Sarawak and Sabah would be during the same period next month, he added.
According to the spokesman, the maximum temperature recorded in Kuala Lumpur encompassing Petaling Jaya, Subang and the KL International Airport for seven days until yesterday, was between 35.3 and 37.2 degree Celcius.
