PETALING JAYA: These are dry days in the north of the peninsula, with hot weather and several dams hitting “warning” levels. The central region has been spared, with thunderstorms forecast across parts of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur – but it won’t be for long. These areas, along with Putrajaya, will face a stretch of drier and hotter days soon, with reduced rainfall forecast beginning July. The dry spell has hit several states exceptionally hard, with warnings issued for eight dams across the country. In Sabah, Sarawak and the Federal Territory of Labuan, day temperatures have been forecast to range between 31ºC and 33ºC.
