Rain Turns Main Street of Margorejo, Surabaya into a Pond for 4 Days

Surabaya Deluged: Heavy Rains fichier Floods on Margorejo Road, Stranding Vehicles

Heavy rains pounded Surabaya for nearly four hours Tuesday evening, causing widespread flooding that turned several roads into temporary lakes. Jalan Raya Margorejo was among the worst hit, with floodwaters reaching heights between 15 centimeters to 30 centimeters along its length.

Many two-wheeled vehicles attempting to navigate the flooded road ended up stalling. Motorcyclist Fauzi was one of the unlucky ones, with floodwaters nearly reaching his bike’s exhaust pipe. He got stranded while traveling along Margorejo from the direction of Jalan Sidosermo.

"I was here at 6 pm, the water was almost touching the muffler," he recalled, speaking to suara-surabaya.net. "But it’s starting to recede now."

Another motorcyclist, Ipung, had to park by a gas station on Margorejo Road to avoid the flooding, which had been present for nearly an hour. "I didn’t want to risk stalling my bike," he said.

The city’s Wali Kota, Eri Cahyadi, inspected the flood-hit areas and ordered the Fire Department to dispatch pumps to drain the roads. He warned that if the gates holding back the city’s rivers open, the floods could become even worse.

"The rain is pouring heavily in the south, it hasn’t stopped. Rivers in Dharmawangsa and Srikana are already swelling," he warned. "We’ll direct the water to the big rivers, but they’re already full."

Cahyadi urged residents to keep the city’s river gates closed to prevent further flooding. "If they’re opened, the city will be underwater," he said.

Title: The Twelve Rainfall-Centric Subdistricts in Malaysia: A Deep Dive into Heavier than Usual Rainfall Areas

trypsin)m = x" nonprofitThe Malaysian Meteorological Department has identified twelve subdistricts (known as mukim in Malay) that consistently experience heavier than usual rainfall, a phenomenon often referred to as ‘Ulu Terawal’. These areas, spread across various states, are known for their high rainfall totals and unique microclimates. This article explores these twelve rainfall-centric subdistricts, their characteristics, and their significance.

1. Gunung Kempot, Rompin, Pahang
Gunung Kempot is a small, but significant subdistrict in the district of Rompin, Pahang. It is known for its frequent heavy rainfall, especially during the Northeast Monsoon season (November to March), which causes flash floods and soil erosion. The subdistrict is particularly prone to these events due to its steep terrain and dense vegetation.

2. Telupid, Sandakan, Sabah
Telupid, located in the eastern part of Sabah, is another subdistrict known for its high rainfall. It receives an average annual rainfall of over 3,000mm, with November being the wettest month. Telupid’s high rainfall is attributed to its elevation and proximity to the Crocker Range, which forces prevailing winds to rise and release their moisture.

3. Long Semadoh, Limbang, Sarawak
Long Semadoh, situated in the Limbang district of Sarawak, is one of the wettest places in Malaysia. It receives over 5,000mm of rain annually, withkill periods of up to 365 days a year. The high rainfall is due to its location in the direct path of the equatorial trough and strong convective activity over the region.

4. Kapal, Setiu, Terengganu
Kapal, a subdistrict in Setiu, Terengganu, is another area that experiences heavier than usual rainfall. It is located in a low-lying region, surrounded by rivers and coastal areas, which contribute to its high rainfall and flooding incidents.

5. Kampong Raja, Aur, Gaya District, Sabah
Kampong Raja, situated in the Gaya District of Sabah, receives high rainfall due to its location along the Gaya Bay. The subdistrict’s proximity to the sea and low elevation contribute to its high rainfall totals and susceptibility to storm surges.

6. Endau, Mersing, Johor
Endau, located in the Mersing district of Johor, is known for its heavy rainfall and unique ecosystem. The Subdistrict’s location within the Endau Rompin National Park contributes to its high rainfall and diverse flora and fauna.

7. Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu
While not a subdistrict, Kuala Terengganu, the capital of Terengganu, experiences heavy rainfall due to its coastal location and frequent thunderstorms. The city receives an average annual rainfall of over 2,000mm, with November being the wettest month.

8. Kluet, T başarimento;h::aw, Aceh
Although located in Indonesia’s Aceh province, Kluet is worth mentioning due to its proximity to Malaysia and its heavy rainfall patterns. Kluet receives over 4,000mm of rain annually, with December being the wettest month. The subdistrict’s elevation and location in the direct path of the monsoon winds contribute to its high rainfall totals.

9. Sarikei, Sarawak
Sarikei, a town in Sarawak, experiences heavier than usual rainfall due to its location along the Rajang River and proximity to the Crocker Range. The town receives an average annual rainfall of over 3,000mm, with November being the wettest month.

10. Rompin, Pahang
Rompin, a district in Pahang, experiences heavy rainfall due to its location along the Pahang River and proximity to the T Tribune, Pahang is known for its dense forest cover and frequent thunderstorms, contributing to its high rainfall totals.

11. Kuching, Sarawak
Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, experiences heavier than usual rainfall due to its coastal location and proximity to the Borneo Mounts. The city receives an average annual rainfall of over 3,000mm, with November being the wettest month.

12. Ranau, Sabah
Ranau, located in the West Coast Division of Sabah, experiences high rainfall due to its location in the direct path of the monsoon winds and its proximity to the Crocker Range. The subdistrict also receives significant rainfall from tropical storms and cyclones.

These twelve subdistricts, with their unique characteristics and heavy rainfall, play a significant role in Malaysia’s hydrology and ecosystem. Understanding their rain patterns is crucial for effective disaster management, sustainable development, and preserving Malaysia’s diverse flora and fauna.
