### Abstract

It was proved by Wang et al. [Wang, J. Yin, Q. Yan, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl., ${\bf 9}$ (2016), 989--997] that any weakly mixing semiflow on a compact metric space, whose all transition maps are surjective, is thickly sensitive. We consider what happens if we do not have the assumptions of compactness and surjectivity. We prove that even in that case any weakly mixing semiflow is multi-sensitive, and that, however, it does not have to be thickly sensitive.
