In a warning issued at 11.50am on Facebook, the agency said the districts affected are Kuala Selangor, Klang, Gombak, Petaling and Kuala Langat.
“Another state to anticipate thunderstorms is Kuala Lumpur,” it said.
MetMalaysia issues warnings whenever signs indicate a thunderstorm with a rain intensity exceeding 20 mm that is close to or is expected to occur for more than an hour.
