KUALA LUMPUR: Several districts in the country will experience heavy rains until next month, during the fair weather’s transition into the monsoon season.

“Thunderstorms and strong winds are expected to occur from the evening until early night at most districts in the west coast states and interiors of the peninsular, as well as west coast of Sabah and central Sarawak,” he said when contacted today.
