KOTA KINABALU: The hot weather in Sabah is expected to prevail until May or until the middle of this year.

Sabah Meteorological Department director Azemi Daud told the Borneo Post that the temperature will not be too extreme.

“The cause is the weak El Nino which is expected to continue up until the middle of this year,” he said.

Azemi also said that this will result in lower rainfall in Sabah by 20 percent to 40 percent from the monthly average.
