El Nino to last two more months; 2024 could be Malaysia\u2019s hottest year \u2014 Nik Nazmi<\/a><\/h3>\n

KOTA BHARU (May 2): The El Nino phenomenon hitting the country is expected to continue for the next two months, said Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said his ministry and the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) will monitor the weather transition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to him, forecasts indicate this year could be the country\u2019s hottest year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe last time such hot weather struck the country was in 1998 in Perlis,\u201d he told reporters after launching the Madani NRES adopted village in Kampung Aril, Melor, here on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nik Nazmi said Kelantan, Perlis and Kedah are experiencing higher temperatures than Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said based on the report he received, the transition should have started with rain expected to come, but Malaysians are to experience hotter days for another one to two months, with the Meteorological Department monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBesides that, we will also monitor and be vigilant about haze in the country and across borders as we observe signs of peat fires,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nik Nazmi said his ministry will join forces with the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry to monitor water levels, adding that they may need to conduct a cloud seeding exercise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The matter is under the attention of Nadma, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe cost of cloud seeding is high and depends on weather factors. Therefore, I will discuss this matter with the state government,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nik Nazmi also advised students to drink enough water and wear appropriate attire due to the hot weather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
