'Selangor's heat is no joke': Netizens vent over sweltering weather
A Threads post about unusually hot, windless days in Selangor has drawn widespread agreement online, with some users linking it to El Nino.
PETALING JAYA – The spell of extreme heat over Selangor in recent days has begun to unsettle residents, with sweltering temperatures and a lack of wind leaving several areas unusually stifling.
The discomfort surfaced in a post on Threads by user @Ifaaismail, who complained about the heat of the past few days.
"Is all of Malaysia feeling this heat? Or is it just me here in Selangor?" she wrote in the post. (Quote translated from Malay.)
The comment section drew broad agreement from other users, who said the hot weather had become increasingly erratic. Some described the situation as an early sign of the El Nino phenomenon, which is forecast to mature in a few months.
User @miyabi260195 said conditions were expected to become even more oppressive once the phenomenon peaks.
"This is the early stage of El Nino. Before it matures in a few months — once it matures, it will be even hotter," the user said.
Another user, @jihaanggur, described the difficulty of commuting in the heat.
"It's true, Selangor's heat is no joke. Going out to work and coming home, I really can't stand facing it. It can give you a headache," the user said.
Others said their sleep had been disrupted by the heat in the early hours.
"Yes, at 4am I woke up from my sleep because it was so hot. My throat was dry and I started nagging my husband to switch on the air conditioner," added user @whoistyr4.
The online exchange reflects growing public unease over increasingly unpredictable weather, particularly in urban areas of Selangor. – KOSMO! ONLINE
