KOTA KINABALU: Strong winds and heavy rains since midnight Thursday (Sept 12) damaged homes, uprooted trees and caused some power failures in parts of the state.

Sabah Meteorological Department director Ambun Dindang said the bad weather was due to a squall line along the South China Sea.

“Squalls can trigger a sudden gust of strong winds and heavy rain. We expect this phenomena to last about an hour,” he said as the latest bout of winds and rain that started at 3.50pm Friday . He said the department issued a first category warning at 2pm and expect the current bad weather to end by 6pm Friday.

He said the 11.30pm Thursday storm recorded wind speeds of about 70km per hour and the public are advised to avoid open sea as rough waves could be dangerous to small boats, recreational sea activities and water sports. Apart from roofs being blown off and some power failures in certain areas in west coast Sabah, no serious damage from the storm was reported.Stay tuned for a new offer coming to you soon.
