KOTA KINABALU–The anticipated heavy rainfall and strong winds over Sabah’s east coast and northern regions did not materialize when tropical storm Jangmi (Philippine name Seniang) dissipated without much incident over the Sulu Sea.
The storm that had caused 54 deaths in the Philippines blew itself out on December 31, said Sabah Meteorological Department director Abdul Malek Tussin.
He said the wet weather in the state was due to a confluence of a north-easterly monsoon and a cold surge of winds from Siberia.
Malek said that while the cold surge was expected to ease off today, the rainy weather in Sabah was likely to persist for several more days.
The department had earlier advised people in the east coast and northern regions to expect heavy rainfall and strong winds from Jangmi until Sunday.
