SHAH ALAM - Temperatures are rising within city folks after Kuala Lumpur was hit by flash floods again today.

The downpour that started at 11am today saw water rising at several major roads in Kuala Lumpur, including Jalan Kuching, Jalan Segambut and Jalan Khidmat Usaha.

According to City Hall Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Ampang and Jalan Dang Wangi are also affected.

In a tweet, the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel said the SMART Tunnel was open to road traffic.

The frequent flash floods in Kuala Lumpur saw social media users in rage as they question the reason to face floods after almost every heavy downpour.

Twitter handler Roman Akramovich@SyedAkramin said: "Another flash flood. And a minister wants to build three new highways which he is not sure if it will solve the traffic issue (in Klang Valley)."

Twitter Firdaus Zin asked motorists to be cautions as water level in Gombak river was rising fast.
