Best time to take a holiday to Malaysia
-
The weather in Malaysia is warm year round, but the best time to visit is outside of the rainy season, which runs from October to April. If you aren't planning a beach holiday, there's plenty to do during the rainy season, including the Monsoon Cup sailing race. No matter what the season, temperatures across Malaysia range from 25 to 32°C. If you want to escape the crowds, visit during the month of Ramadan, when the streets are quieter and you'll have easier access to tourist attractions. No matter what time of year you visit Malaysia, be prepared for the humidity, which stays through the wet and dry seasons.
