Squall line bringing storms to Borneo States until May 7, warns MetMalaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah, Labuan and northern Sarawak will possibly face heavy rain and strong winds until Saturday (May 7) due to the squall line phenomenon.

A squall line is defined as a line of severe thunderstorms that can form along and/or ahead of a cold front.

According to the Malaysian Meteorological Department forecast issued at 1pm on Thursday and based on its weather model analysis, a low-pressure system is expected to form in the western Philippines and move westward. "This is expected to result in an increase in the speed and concentration of south-westerly winds in the waters of western Sabah and northern Sarawak from May 5 to May 10," it added.

The public is advised to always refer to the website www.met.gov.my and all the department's social media platforms for the latest and authentic information. – Bernama
