As you may already know, the hot weather has been pretty bad these past few weeks. The haze has also reappeared in Malaysia as forest fires break out in Indonesia. How do you know when the haze is bad enough to put on a mask, or when the weather is hot enough for you to take health precautions? Here are some websites you can refer to.

The rainy season, which many Malaysians dislike, is here again. For us, knowing when it could rain or where it would flood can be vital. Although it's not something the average Malaysian can predict, there are several online Malaysian platforms and apps with reliable weather information. Here are some you can refer to.

The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has recently launched RakanMET, a user-friendly app that allows you to report any extreme weather phenomenons in your area to the department. Furthermore, the app is community-service oriented and functions through smart partnership between MetMalaysia and the public.

Taking to its official Twitter page, MetMalaysia further elaborated that the RakanMET app serves as a two-way communication medium between the public and MetMalaysia. With it, the department can obtain quick information on verified and accurate weather conditions throughout the country.
