Kuala Terengganu sits on Peninsular Malaysia’s east coast, where the northeast monsoon from November through January brings the country’s most severe seasonal flooding, in stark contrast to the relatively dry southwest monsoon months from May to September.
Terengganu’s capital sits at the mouth of the Terengganu River, which regularly floods during the northeast monsoon season. The catastrophic 2014-15 monsoon floods, among the worst in Malaysia’s modern history, displaced hundreds of thousands of people across this coast and remain the reference event for how quickly the region’s rivers can rise, making radar tracking of incoming monsoon rain bands essential each winter.
