Best time to visit Malaysia

Malaysia has a warm, humid tropical climate year-round, with regional variations between the west and east coasts. On the west coast, including Kuala Lumpur and Penang, the drier period from December to March is often seen as shoulder season, with typical daytime temperatures around 28–32°C (82–90°F) and brief showers. April to August is another shoulder season in many areas, with similar temperatures of about 28–33°C (82–91°F) and more afternoon rain, making cities and hill stations popular for urban sightseeing and cooler escapes. The rainier months of September to November can be regarded as low season in some regions, with heavier downpours and occasional storms, but temperatures still average 27–31°C (81–88°F) and the lush landscapes are at their greenest.
