Set in a lush tropical forest, Broga Hill is at the edge of the Titiwangsa Range. It is also known by the locals as ‘Bukit Lalang’ as this grass grows in abundance on the hill top lending it a mystical setting. The climb up the first peak can be daunting for first timers but there are ropes that are tied to trees that help you along. The view at the top is definitely well worth the climb. The once lush tropical forest is now covered with “resam” or “lalang” cogon grass giving the hill an almost picture book quality. It is a good treat…a reward for the climb. Broga Hill is frequented by casual hikers. It is approximately 400m in altitude and is easily climbed by most people. The hilltop is unique as it is rather devoid of trees, which is an uncommon sight amongst tropical rainforest. Remnants of burnt out tree trunks indicate that the area may have been ravaged by a forest fire and the trees did not regrow. It offers a good view of the surrounding area and has become a popular picnic...

FACTS ABOUT THUNDER STORM

Thunderstorms can inspire the entire range of human emotion with their vivid displays of nature's fury. Storms are used to set an ominous tone in spooky stories, even as they bring much-needed relief to parched fields or distressed humans on a hot day. These torrents are as fascinating to study as they are to watch, and as common as they are, they're actually quite complex. 1. WHAT GOES UP … Warm, moist air is the fuel that feeds a thunderstorm the energy it needs to survive. A column of warm air quickly rising through the atmosphere is known as an updraft, and these upward winds can pack a punch. The strength of an updraft depends on how great the temperature difference is between different levels of the atmosphere. An updraft can exceed 100 mph in the strongest thunderstorms. 2. THE TOP OF THE STORM GETS SMOOSHED. An updraft will continue skyward until the rising air is no longer warmer than the air around it. The rising air spreads out at this point, creating flat, ...
