Heavy rain early Thursday forced many climbers on Mount Kinabalu to pause or abandon their ascent.

Climbers descending from the summit navigated strong water currents and reached the Laban Rata resthouse safely by 6 a.m.

By 3:30 a.m., late starters at the Sayat-Sayat checkpoint turned back due to persistent downpours.

Thunderstorm warnings affecting areas around Sabah were issued by MetMalaysia starting at 1:50 a.m., including locations near Mount Kinabalu.
