Tourist season in Malaysia
When is the best time to visit various Malaysian resorts?
- West coast: it is advisable to gather in the western regions of the country in November-February (dry season). At this time, you can safely go on excursions without worrying about whether you took an umbrella with you or not. But in any case, hot and humid weather is observed here all year round, so the elderly and people suffering from heart diseases should not go here.
- East coast: it is best to go to this region in May-September (+ 26-32 degrees) - at this time, if it rains, they do not affect the air temperature.
- Mountains: in mountainous areas, you can hide from the coastal heat (during the day here + 20-25, and at night - 10 degrees). When planning a vacation in the mountains, it is worth considering that precipitation falls here more often than on the coast (it rains all year round, and not in certain months).
