The investigation on effect of wind trade to precipitation in Kuantan, Pahang

The rainfall distribution is spatial and temporal variability. The development and intensity of rainfall is governed and influenced by monsoon systems, orographic convective systems and land-sea interactions. Monsoons are seasonal winds, and develop around thermally produced continental highs in...
