PETALING JAYA: A weather expert has forecast that the nation will experience significant flooding within the next three days due to heavy monsoon rain triggered by the active La Nina and negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) phenomena. He also said the forecast from global models such as Nullschool.net predicted that heavy rain is expected until Tuesday (Dec 13) night. He said the La Nina and negative IOD phenomena acting in parallel have caused continuous rain in several states. "More heavy rain increases the potential for major floods to occur within these three days," he told Sinar Harian on Monday (Dec 12). However, he added that heavy rain in Sabah and Sarawak occurs in January and February, a month or so later than in the peninsula.
