## A warning until 9pm
MetMalaysia issued a bad weather alert for thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds covering seven states and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, valid until 9pm on Sunday.
## Kedah and Perak in the north
In Kedah the alert covers Kulim, Bandar Baharu, Baling and Sik. In Perak it covers Hulu Perak, Selama and Muallim.
## The east coast is next
Kelantan's Tumpat, Kota Bharu, Bachok and Pasir Puteh are affected, along with a wide stretch of Terengganu: Hulu Terengganu, Marang, Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Nerus, Setiu and Besut.
## Highlands and the Klang Valley
Cameron Highlands, Lipis and Jerantut are on the list in Pahang. In Selangor it is Hulu Selangor and Gombak, the districts that feed run-off toward the Klang Valley.
## Sarawak's river towns
Across the South China Sea, the warning covers Sibu, Sarikei, Betong, Mukah and Song in Kapit.
## What to do now
Residents in the listed areas are told to stay vigilant. Strong winds and heavy rain in a short window mean flash floods, fallen trees and slow traffic until the alert lapses.
