#NSTviral: Monsoon magic: Kedahans sport winter jackets amid rare chill [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: A TikTok video of Kedahans wearing oversized padded jackets at a petrol station has gone viral, sparking laughter and curiosity over the rare sight in Malaysia's tropical climate.

The clip, shared by @shellrnrgurunutara, shows customers and staff at the station dressed in winter gear, rubbing their hands together as if braving icy weather.

The caption notes unusually cold weather in Kedah, a stark contrast to Malaysia's typically warm and humid conditions.

The ongoing monsoon season, marked by persistent rain, is believed to be behind the chillier-than-usual temperatures.

The video, which has amassed over 1.3 million views and 95,000 likes, left many astonished to see Malaysians donning winter attire.

User @beefly120 said that Kedah had become noticeably chilly day and night, making it feel like a cool-weather getaway without leaving home, while @lycoris.my shared how blankets had become a necessity since moving to Kedah — a first for them.

Another user @warungdnaka humorously noted feeling out of place in winter clothing, recalling how others questioned his fashion choice.
