Flood alert for coastal residents, with 5.2m high tide tomorrow
The fire and rescue department said water flows from two rivers could converge with the high tide, increasing the risk of flooding in low-lying areas.
Residents in coastal and low-lying areas of Selangor, including Kuala Selangor, have been warned to brace themselves for potential flooding tomorrow, with water levels forecasted to reach up to 5.2 meters. The Selangor fire and rescue department has expressed concerns that the high tide could merge with water flows from the Buloh and Ijok rivers, amplifying the risk of flooding in vulnerable regions.
The issue was exemplified today in Kampung Melayu Subang, where flash floods struck again after heavy rainfall this afternoon. Social media users shared images of the inundated area, which was submerged within mere minutes of the rainfall. Nurul Azuwana noted that the water surged after just 20 minutes of rain, while another user, hyenarawr1, mentioned that it was the third flash flood to hit the region in a single week.
Earlier this week, on November 2nd, approximately 92 homes in Kampung Melayu Subang were reported to have been flooded.
