A flood occurred at the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia at the end of February 2022.[2] The floods were caused by continuous heavy rains for several days since February 25 in most states of the peninsula, especially in the states of Kelantan and Terengganu, which led to the significant floods in both states.[3][4] Following the floods, several thousand people had to be evacuated, and the floods also affected neighboring regions of Thailand.[2] The floods were considered unexpected due to flood times that were not in line with the usual annual weather patterns.[5]
