  • Given Malaysia's geographical location, most floods that occur are a natural result of cyclical monsoons during the local tropical wet season that are characterised by heavy and regular rainfall from roughly October to March.
  • Inadequate drainage in many urban areas also enhance the effects of heavy rain, though efforts are underway to resolve this (see below).
  • Floods in Southern Johor was believed to be caused by the Gore Effect. This is because Johor is not within the usual monsoon affected zone.
