Water freezes at the top of Mount Kinabalu during recent chilly spell

Malaysia’s recent cold-spell has resulted in water at the peak of the country’s tallest peak, Mount Kinabalu, freezing. Tropical living, in the modern age.
Temperatures have dipped to -1 and -2 Celsius at 4,095m, the mountain’s highest point, and puddles on the ground have frozen solid.
Kinabalu mountain guide association president Junaydie Sihan told Harian Metro that the phenomenon of liquid water turning into ice took place last Monday, and that while it’s incredibly rare, it has been known to happen once or twice a year.
Temperatures have now increased to between 3 and 5 degrees Celsius.
Last year, freezing at the mountain top occurred in August. Sihan added that while frost along the peak was typical during cold spells, Kinabalu has yet to see snow.
Recent cold, damp weather has gripped the nation over the last week, with many finally getting to wear those giant puffer jackets they bought at Zara, and wore only once, in Europe, that time they visited in November.
Parts of the Klang Valley have experienced temperatures as low as 22 degrees Celsius, a full ten degrees lower than what is normal at this time of year.

In the Cameron Highlands, the mercury dipped to 15 degrees Celsius on Friday.
Meteorologists have said that the cool weather is expected to end today, and had been a result of monsoon clouds limiting the amount of sun shining on the peninsula.
