Other countries that actually have four seasons were probably making fun of us for losing our minds over the so-called winter we were experiencing at the time because 20 degrees Celsius is nowhere near freezing temperatures.
But hey, foreigners, if you've been to Malaysia, you know how hot and humid our country is. So cut us some slack when we finally get to enjoy a bit of air-con weather outdoors, even if it's just for a few days lah.
The cold weather was great while it lasted. Now, another unusual phenomenon is happening because ice formations were reportedly spotted in another part of Malaysia!
Water that had frozen into ice lumps reappeared on Malaysia's highest peak, Mount Kinabalu just this morning.
This was the second occurence after the first sighting earlier in January this year.
According to New Straits Times, the ice formations appeared after the temperature near the mountain summit had dropped to -2 degrees Celsius in the last few days.
This was reportedly discovered by mountain guide Jomius Binte at around 6.30am today. He also saw pools of water that were covered with layers of ice near the summit because of the sub-zero temperatures.
Despite the cold at the summit (which is normal if you couldn't guess by now) it is not common to see ice formations at the top of the mountain. But then again, apparently it's not impossible either.
Having said that, it's not snow, guys. It's just ice. So don't freak out again, okay? For those who will be climbing Mount Kinabalu in the next few days, enjoy it while it lasts!
