Meteorological Dept failed to give accurate readings, says FMM Penang

GEORGE TOWN: The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Penang branch is upset with the Meteorological Department for not providing quick and accurate readings of the weather pattern, saying its members have lost millions in operational hiccups.
A Meteorological Department spokesperson has said a heavy rainfall warning on the rainfall pattern in the northern region was issued on Wednesday (Nov 1).
The department has issued a warning of bad weather hitting several states in Peninsular Malaysia including Penang, Perak, Perlis, and Kedah.
The warning issued about an hour ago cautions the public to be wary of heavy rains with strong winds in Penang, Perak, Perlis, and Kedah which is expected today.
While Kelantan and Terengganu is expected to experience continuous rainfall with strong winds today.
The warnings came in three categories, orange, yellow and red.
Yellow-level are for weather conditions that do not pose an immediate threat to the population.
An orange-level weather warning implies that all recipients in the affected areas should prepare for the anticipated conditions.
The red-level severe weather warnings mean moving out of the danger zone.
