Flash Floods Disrupt Traffic in Southeast Asia

Heavy rainfall has led to flash floods in various regions across Brunei and Sabah, causing significant traffic disruptions. In Brunei, flash floods submerged parts of the Tutong Highway, resulting in severe traffic congestion, as the country experiences the first half of the northeast monsoon season, which is marked by unstable weather patterns. Meanwhile, in Sabah, areas near the state capital were also affected by knee-high flooding, prompting warnings from the Malaysian Meteorological Department about ongoing thunderstorms and heavy rain. In Kuala Lumpur, flash floods at Jalan Kuching caused additional traffic snarls, with local authorities assisting stranded motorists. New Jersey also faced travel delays due to crashes and flooding during the busy Thanksgiving holiday, with officials advising caution on the roads. As adverse weather conditions persist, residents and motorists across the affected areas are urged to remain vigilant and prepared for potential evacuations if necessary.
