MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -A four-week off-season break should be mandatory for professional soccer players, with two of those weeks to be a blackout period with no communication with club or national team, according to a new study.
PUTRAJAYA: The Southwest Monsoon , which began on May 10 and is expected to last until September, is not likely to bring extreme dry weather , as the current El Niño Southern Oscillation pattern remains in a neutral phase, said National Disaster Management Agency director-general Datuk Abdul Halim Hamzah.
"In short, the neutral status of ENSO means we can expect more 'normal' monsoon without the extreme effects of El Niño or La Niña, which is expected to continue until October," he said on Thursday during an engagement session with the media regarding the government's preparations for MBD, here. He said the key characteristics of the monsoon include low rainfall over Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, more dry days across most states, and the formation of squall lines typically in the mornings along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and western Sabah.
"Tomorrow, we will hold a coordination meeting on cloud seeding operations in Kedah, specifically for the Bukit Malut Dam issue, as a proactive measure. We will not wait until the dam runs dry to carry out the operation," he said.
