Dragon over Kota Kinabalu

KOTA KINABALU: These squall lines seen in the early hours of Tuesday 12 June 2012 spurred the attention of Internet users in the West Coast of Sabah.

According to a meteorological Department spokesperson, the squall line is often seen during the Southwest Monsoon season along the coastal areas, which developed offshore in the night before sweeping landward in the morning.

Squall lines are used to describe a moving line of thunderstorm, which stretches hundreds of kilometres in length, and have a life span of several hours.

They can generate gusty winds and heavy rains, which are more intense and extensive than individual thunderstorms.

    This is a normal phenomenon but it rarely happens, no need to make a big deal out of it.

    Maybe it was a welcoming sign for the Dragon Boat competition that was held on Saturday.

    Macam puting beliung pula bentuk dia tu. Nasib baiklah Sabah ni di luar lingkaran Api Pasifik dan laluan angin taufan.

    Cuaca yang tidak menentuk menyebabkan tiupan angin yang kuat masa itu.
