Explanatory notes:
The region lies within the doldrum region with the atmosphere being moist and unstable until Friday then some uncertainties with possible weak south/southwest low level prevailing winds as heat low to the north possibly strengthens.Until Friday the steering flow will be somewhat from the west and light then the steering flow possibly strengthens.
Medium to high chances of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon/evening with the development of sea breezes most likely over inland areas with the prevailing steering flow somewhat from the west.
Also possible showers and thunderstorms during the early hours and morning with land breeze convergence over the Straits of Melaka leading to the development of showers and thunderstorms which are steered towards the coast by the prevailing steering flow.
