📅 Best Time to Visit (Season-Wise)

The best time to visit Malaysia depends on which part of the country you’re exploring, as the climate varies between the east coast, west coast, and highland regions.

🌤️ Dry Season (March to June)

This is the most favorable time to visit most regions of Malaysia. The weather is generally sunny and dry, making it ideal for sightseeing, beach holidays, and outdoor adventures.

• West Coast (Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Penang): Excellent weather with minimal rainfall.
• Borneo (Sabah & Sarawak): Great for rainforest treks and wildlife spotting.
• Highlands (Cameron Highlands, Genting): Cool and pleasant year-round, but especially lush during this season.

🌧️ Southwest Monsoon (May to September)

This season brings afternoon showers mainly to the west coast, but they’re usually brief and refreshing. Travel is still enjoyable, especially in urban areas.

• Kuala Lumpur & Penang: Expect short tropical downpours, but plenty of sunshine too.
• Langkawi: Still good for travel, though humidity increases.

🌧️ Northeast Monsoon (November to February)

This is the wettest season on the east coast, with heavy rains and rough seas. Many beach resorts in places like the Perhentian Islands and Tioman close during this time.

• East Coast (Redang, Tioman, Perhentian): Best avoided due to monsoon rains.
• West Coast (Langkawi, KL, Penang): Enjoys dry and sunny weather—great for travel.
• Borneo: Rainy, but still possible to explore with proper planning.
