Cool respite: Visitors to Sunway Lagoon splashing each other to cool off from the searing heat at a pool.“The change of wind direction during the inter-monsoon season last month has caused the weather to be drier,’’ he said.Ahmad Zaki said the country would experience the South-West monsoon from mid-May to September which usually brought a dry spell, he said.
