KOTA KINABALU – The viral incident atop Mount Kinabalu today was sleet or frozen raindrops rather than snowflakes, said climatologist Ramzah Dambul.

Stating that there was nothing irregular in its occurrence, Ramzah said sleet happens when frozen droplets are unable to melt on time before hitting the ground, especially in high and cold areas.

Ramzah said frozen raindrops are quite common in Malaysia and are identified as “hujan batu” in Malay, adding that sleet is seen flying in the video because of the strong wind conditions on the mountain.

“If it were real snow, the flakes would not have drifted the way it did. Snow is very light and does not drop directly as seen in the viral video.
