| Summary: | Isohyetal maps were prepared to estimate Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) for long duration
storms in Peninsular Malaysia. Historical storms of 1, 3 and 5-day durations from 21 rainfall
recording stations operated by Malaysian Meteorological Service (MMS) were identified and
analysed to calculate the PMP vales. Maximum rainfall for 1, 3 and 5-day storms in the Peninsula
were recorded as 809, 1272.9 and 1494 mm, respectively. The widely used and most reliable
hydrometeorological method was used to derive and transpose the PMP values from the storm
locations to all MMS stations in the Peninsula. Maximum transposed PMP for a particular duration
was obtained for six selected historical storms. |
