More rain forecast for flood-hit SE Asia – Asia-Pacific – Al Jazeera English.
People in South East Asia have been warned to prepare for more flooding, after days of heavy rain across the region that has killed dozens of people and displaced tens of thousands in Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
Weather forecasters on Sunday warned that much of Malaysia will see more storms in the next three days; Thailand and Sri Lankan authorities also warned their people to brace for more floods.
“We expect another surge in heavy rain followed by strong winds brought by the seasonal northeast monsoon, which usually continues till March,” a Malaysian meteorological department official told AFP news agency.
According to officials, more than 200,000 people across the region have been left homeless because of the floods.
There are fears the death toll could rise as communities have been left stranded without food or medicine.
