The flash flood episodes in Klang Valley appear to be never-ending. Yesterday (17 October), Ukay Perdana was hit by flash floods.
In a video that was shared on Twitter by Hafiz Md Rahim, water was seen gushing onto parked cars as the water in the parking lot rose up to the top of the tyres.
The area looked like a lake with the gushing water from a height looking like a mini waterfall.
Hujan lebat.. Ada tempat dah start banjir kilat. Hati2 semua. Yang duduk dekat tempat berisiko, standby apa yg patut.

The Kau Ong Yah temple in Kg Baharu, Ampang endured the same fate.
Lembah Jaya assemblyman Syed Ahmad Syed Abdul Rahman or Altimer, shared a video on Twitter last night of the clean-up process.
As the water had receded, he said clean-up was being done and prayers at the temple had resumed.

According to an announcement that was released by the Malaysian Meteorology Department (MetMalaysia) in their official website, it seems like the monsoon that began on 19 September will only end in November.
The region has weak winds from various directions during the Monsoon Transition phase, which is favourable for thunderstorms, which often bring powerful winds and heavy rain in a short amount of time.
Most of the states on the west coast, the interior of the Peninsula, western Sabah, and western and central Sarawak experienced this episode primarily in the evening and early hours of the night.
