When to go to Malaysia?

In Malaysia, the climate is of the equatorial variety, with constant heat and humidity. Temperatures change little throughout the year – they lie between 23°C and 33°C in June.

In Malaysia, heat, sun and humidity prevail all year round. However, a few variations do in fact exist depending on the region. Further inland, the heat becomes more stifling whereas along the coasts there is clearer sunshine but the temperatures aren’t as high. The country is subject to monsoon rains. Along the country’s eastern coast, the monsoon brings intense rain between November and March in the Sabah and Sarawak regions. It is better to avoid this season in order to travel to this part of the country. Along the western coast, the rain will be more present between March and May. The altitude means it’s possible to enjoy cooler temperatures, particularly in the mountainous regions of Cameron Highlands to the north of Kuala Lumpur. The thermometer here approaches the 16°C mark.
Fans of warm water will find what they’re looking for in Malaysia as the water temperature varies between 27°C and 30°C all throughout the year. It’s heavenly!
For your stay in Malaysia , the best season runs from the start of June to the end of September. It is actually the season when it rains the least, both along the eastern coast and in the west of the country, and is also when the sunshine is most prevalent.
