When Is The Monsoon Season In Malaysia -

To truly understand "when" the monsoon is, you must look at the region. Malaysia is split geographically, and the weather rarely behaves the same way everywhere at once.

| Region | Best Time to Visit | Monsoon Avoidance | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | December – February | Avoid April/May & September/October if you dislike sudden heavy downpours (though they are short). | | East Coast (Perhentian, Redang, Tioman) | March – October | Avoid November – January. Resorts are closed; seas are dangerous. | | Sabah & Sarawak (Borneo) | March – October | The monsoon here is less defined but brings heavy rains from Nov-Jan. Mt. Kinabalu climbs are risky in Dec/Jan. | when is the monsoon season in malaysia
