▀ the climate |
|
Malaysia has a typically tropical climate with temperatures ranging between 27°C and 35°C year round and with humidity around the 90% level year round.
The tropics can take some adjusting to and it is advisable to take it easy on arrival if traveling from non-tropical climes though plentiful air-conditioning makes this adjustment easier. To echo the advice in a well known song, avoid out in the noonday sun.
As in all tropical countries the rain tends to fall in brief torrential downpours and is soon replaced by sun. The whole region is monsoonal between October and April on peninsula Malaysia the wind is from the north-east and at this time of year it may rain everyday but it is only the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia that has real "rainy season" between November and January, in other parts it is just a time of year when rainfall is slightly heavier than at other times - the rest of the year the wind is from the south-west when it is relatively drier. |
