Hujan cecah 100mm antara punca banjir di Melaka

MELAKA: Hujan berterusan sehingga mencecah 100 mililiter (mm) sehari menjadi antara punca bencana banjir di Melaka terutama di Jasin.

Pengarah Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (APM) Melaka Lt Kol (PA) Kamarulsyah Muslim berkata bacaan tersebut diukur di beberapa stesen telemetri Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) di negeri berkenaan pada Rabu lepas.

"Hujan berterusan itu menyebabkan peningkatan air sungai yang melimpah ke tebing sehingga menyebabkan banjir di kawasan sekitar.

"Bagaimanapun kebanyakan paras air sungai di Melaka masih di peringkat waspada ketika ini," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata ketika ini, air laut pasang namun tidak tinggi dan tidak menghalang air banjir turun secara beransur-ansur ke laut.

Jabatan Meteorologi hari ini mengeluarkan amaran hujan berterusan peringkat waspada di Melaka sehingga esok.

Jumlah mangsa banjir di Melaka terus meningkat kepada 379 orang daripada 97 keluarga pada 8 pagi ini berbanding 204 orang daripada 50 mangsa pada 8 malam tadi.
