Heavy rainfall has been affecting southern Peninsular Malaysia and northern Indonesia (in particular northern Sulawesi Island) since 18 March, causing floods that have resulted in displacements and damage.

In addition, ADINet also reports a total of more than 3,400 affected people and 925 flooded houses across Gorontalo and Bone Bolango Regencies (both in Gorontalo Province, northern Sulawesi Island).

Over the next 24 hours, more heavy rainfall is forecast over the whole Peninsular Malaysia as well as over the whole Sulawesi Island.
