Malaysia could be heading into its hottest year on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February 2026, climate experts warned that there is a 60 to 70 per cent chance El Ni\u00f1o will develop in the second half of this year<\/a> and carry over into 2027. Professor Emeritus Fredolin Tangang of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia said that if it does arrive, 2026 or 2027 could surpass 2024 as the warmest year ever recorded. MetMalaysia has already projected drier-than-normal conditions from February through July, with heat and fire risks rising across Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have been thinking about buying a new aircon, or replacing an old one, then one of the most important decisions is choosing the right horsepower (HP) for your room. Too low, and you might sweat through the night. Too high, and you will pay for cooling power you do not need. But, like Goldilocks, when you get it “just right”, your aircon will run efficiently, keep your room comfortable, and won’t push your TNB electricity bill<\/a> into a higher tariff band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
