Weather and Climate of Malaysia is now in its second edition. It has been revised, rewritten and expanded to capture the rapid research and technological advances and to provide up-to-date illustrations of current developments. 

Climate change is a growing global concern as it has significant impacts such as more frequent and intense floods, extreme rainstorms, landslide, rising sea levels and warming oceans, which can directly wreak havoc on people’s livelihoods and communities and harm animals as well as marine habitats. 

Climate change is region-specific since its impacts, trends, and manifestations vary from one region to another. This updated edition of the Weather and Climate of Malaysia maintains those illustrations in the first edition which are further refined and include many additional latest and new materials. Multiplatform environmental satellite digital data are extensively extracted and analysed to effectively interpret many climatological, marine, and environmental illustrations. 

Weather and Climate of Malaysia continues to provide the essential fundamentals of the weather and climate in Malaysia and its neighbouring seas for a broad spectrum of users, such as multidisciplinary undergraduates and postgraduates, public and private professionals, as well as researchers working in fields covering meteorology, climatology, hydrology, agriculture, environmental science, and weather-sensitive business exploration and investment.
