Following continuous rain through the night, authorities in Kedah opened two temporary relief centres by noon. The JPBN secretariat reported that the Surau As Saadiah centre in Kuala Muda began operations at 10 am, accommodating 24 people from seven households. In the Yan district, a shelter at Sekolah Kebangsaan Teroi was also established, though officials are still compiling the exact count of victims and families placed there.

Affected villages include Kampung Kepala Bukit, Kampung Guar Nenas, Kampung Guar Stesen and Kampung Sungai Bongkok in Kuala Muda, and Kampung Teroi Bukit and Kampung Titi Teras in Yan. Continuous rainfall is expected to persist until the following day, prolonging the flooding situation.
