Climatic Overview Of Malaysia

Malaysia is the classic example of a wet tropical zone- hot and humid all through the year, with the temperature ranging between 21º C and 33ºC, and the humidity usually touching around 90%. As in all of South East Asia, the monsoons are an important feature of the climate- Malaysia has two monsoons, one in August-September and the other between November and February. The annual precipitation is pretty high (200 to 250 cm), and daily rainfall in the afternoon is a normal occurrence. Rain, however, falls generally in the form of a short, heavy shower, after which the sun starts shining again.
