Heatwave hits Peninsular Malaysia
A heatwave is hitting parts of the peninsula, exacerbated by a lack of rain.
In Kedah, 206 schools were told to switch to learning from home after temperatures in Kota Setar and Pendang soared above 37°C over the weekend.
In Malacca, water levels in dams have dropped by up to 30 percent due to the hot weather. However, supply is still sufficient until April.
