Rain

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is currently facing its sixth episode of continuous heavy rains from the monsoon runoff brought about by the North East Monsoon (NEM).

"If El Nino is recognised, it will cause the situation to be worse than usual. "While it is still MTL, the possibility of heavy rain and flooding is still there, so people need to continue to be cautious," he said. The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general, Muhammad Helmi Abdullah, said although this sixth episode is probably the last to bring heavy rain, there is still a possibility that rain and flooding will continue in some areas right into March and April.

A foreign worker was captured by a Facebook netizen sheltering an elderly lady from heavy rain across HDB blocks in Serangoon on Tuesday.

Good Wednesday morning! Get outside and enjoy a nice spring-like day! We'll have morning lows in the lower 40s and upper 30s with sunny skies.

Soggy, snow-capped California faces the likelihood of yet another month of wet weather, but what remains uncertain is whether this late winter precipitation ...

In December, they said they would be able to [give only about 5%](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-12-01/california-to-see-more-brown-lawns-and-water-restrictions) to 29 agencies, which together serve about 27 million Californians. The fact that conditions ended up so wet speaks to the challenges of long-term forecasting, Sweet said. More snow is on the way. Across the state, snowpack remains incredibly healthy — 186% of normal for the date as of Tuesday, according to state data. Daily rainfall records were set at Los Angeles International Airport and in Burbank, downtown Los Angeles and several other parts of the region. In the southern Sierra, it’s 224% of normal. In addition to flooding, a warm rain-on-snow event could pose challenges from a water supply perspective. In the coming days, the western United States is expected to be “dominated by upper-level low pressure,” Gottschalck said, which will probably deliver more low temperatures and low-elevation snow to California. The recent winter storm already dropped heaps of cold rain and snow in parts of California. [according to the Drought Monitor.](https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA) About 52% of the state is categorized in moderate drought and 15% as “abnormally dry.” A deluge of warm rain, however, could cause melting snow to fill rivers too quickly and trigger widespread flooding. That could bode well for the state’s ample snowpack.
