Double whammy: Heavy rain and high tide

Peninsular Malaysia will have to brace for heavy rain and high tide over the next few days.

In a statement late last night, the Coastal Management Division of the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) warned that the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia will experience high tide from today until Wednesday.

The DID said that although the tide is expected to be lower than the last major tide in November, adverse weather conditions can result in coastal flooding and flash floods.
