TUARAN: The dry spell here is finally expected to relent with rain forecasted starting tomorrow.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Madius Tangau said drizzles and intermittent rains can be expected at most areas until April 14 (Thursday).
Commenting on the cloud seeding operations, he said: "We did the first exercise on Thursday but received minimal success of rainfall, with just 30 minutes of rain.
Yesterday, the Royal Malaysian Air Force utilised its C130 aircraft so we were not able to conduct the cloud seeding.
"We will see if we can try again today but Sandakan, West Coast and the Interior regions in this State are forecasted to experience some rain today... and the whole of Sabah can expect wetness starting tomorrow so we will see," he said when asked if cloud seeding operations would be continued.
Madius told reporters this after officiating a Tuaran-level education event here.
Meanwhile, he said that a number of areas recorded temperatures over 37 degrees celsius for three consecutive days as of 4pm.
They are Arau in Perlis, Sik in Kedah, Ulu Perak in Perak and Kuala Lipis, Jerantut and Temerloh in Pahang.
"For Sabah as of 4pm yesterday, the districts being monitored recording between 35 to 37 Celsius for three consecutive days are Beaufort, Keningau, Kota Belud, Beluran and Kota Marudu," he added.
