Recently, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) issued a Level 1 heatwave alert, signaling the onset of scorching temperatures across northern Malaysia.

This alert encompasses regions such as Perlis, Langkawi, Kubang Pasu, Kedah, Perak, and Penang.

A viral video highlights the profound impact of this heatwave on the daily lives of Penang residents. The footage showcases the alarming sight of boiling hot water flowing directly from a tap into a rice pot, providing a stark illustration of the extreme conditions.

The presence of visible vapor in the video serves as a testament to the severity of the weather conditions experienced in Penang on the day in question.
